Noreen first sailed the Eye during the Tall Ships 2000, when the whole ship was chartered for Canadians. When I met her one year later, she was one of the cooks and they all had a hard time during that Atlantic storm of 10 days.
She later stayed on with the new owners for a while and then went out of my 'eyesight' - well, I'm short sighted.
Now she sails on the Soren Larsen as cook, too, and still seems to enjoy this possibly hardest job on a sailing vessel. Read her online diary at
