Let me tell you about myself

Hi! I’m Catherine

I love food. I love to eat food, I love to make food and I even love to shop for food. My career has always revolved around food. I was born and raised in Brockville, Ontario to German parents. Every Sunday as a child our family would spend time walking around Blockhouse Island enjoying an ice-cream and ship watching. My passion for ships started at a young age. I inherited a sense of adventure from my parents who immigrated to a country in 1954 where they didn’t know the language or know anyone. Their love of life, food, and adventure was an example they lived each day.  I have an entrepreneurial spirit and after sailing on the Great Lakes and the St. Lawrence River on multiple ships from 1981 to 1994. I took my love of cooking and set myself up in my own restaurant in Mont Tremblant Quebec. During my 24 years operating Creperie Catherine I often thought about sailing...I missed the adventure. In 2019 I made the decision to close the restaurant and return to my first love; Sailing.  I started sharing my photos and stories about life onboard and found a new passion to add to my love of food and love of sailing. I found a passion for writing.
