Polio Place

Joy Carey - Fourth Runner-up

I had polio at age 4 and am now 68. I have been living and sailing aboard my sailboat, Kelaerin, since 1991. My husband and I have been sailing around the world since 2002. We have visited more than 50 countries and sailed around 60,000 miles to date. I love to travel and it is my intent to "drop dead while traveling" when my time comes. The above photo is of me on Ninigo Island, Papua New Guinea with my new friend Elizabeth and her sister.
