Commodore’s Awards 2002

"Janet Murphy & George Smith are Southern Cross 31 owners and world cruisers. They departed the US in 1986 aboard Apogee, hull number 148. Their cruising has taken them twice across the Atlantic, to the South Pacific and five round trips from New Zealand to Fiji, then to Australia, Malaysia, the Indian Ocean, up the Red Sea to Israel, Turkey, all through the Med, back across the Atlantic (this time on a transportation ship), up the Intracoastal and back to New Jersey. George was the 1986 Southern Cross Owners Association Commodore. They have contributed many very interesting articles for us to enjoy."
