Independence


We are Vicky and Gary Angell, owners of the sailing vessel Independence. As full time cruisers, we have lived aboard Independence for over a year now.


Gary is a retired Navy Lieutenant and a former Information Technology Manager. Vicky is a former Cerified Nursing Assistant. We started planning this adventure in 2006 and have sold most of our land locked assets to purchase our new (to us) floating home in July of 2011.

Oh...and we can't forget Buddy, our cat. He was a former mouser and indoor.outdoor cat, coming and going as he pleased for nearly six years. We were concerned about his ability to adapt but, after over a year, he has done really well. When we're in the yard he is allowed to come and go as he pleases and always comes home for dinner.
