Reg a lifetime mariner and Captain for 37 yrs of a 23 metre fishing vessel we owned and just recently sold. Maureen also served as a cook and deckhand on our vessel for many years before following her dream to become a hairdresser. We have two grown children who also live in Victoria with 2 grand children. Having to spend all of our summers on the ocean we have had little opportunity to travel other than during the winter months. We finally got the chance last summer to visit Europe and really enjoyed it especially Germany where we got to spend time with a former student who lived with us for a year.We are hoping to go back this summer if this exchange works out. We would consider different dates and cities or towns somewhere close to the Karlsruhe area within the same time period with a minimum of two weeks.
