Art had been part of her life for as
long as she could remember; after
graduating from Parkland Secon-
dary in 1980 she attended David
Thompson University Centre fora
year, studying art, and then
attended the Emily Carr College of
Art and Design.

The yacht was based in Newport
Beach, California, which Leanne
describes as ‘fan incredible mecca

_ for the arts.”
But art and.a luxury yacht were
not enough to keep the couple
from their Peninsula home. After
the. smog and crowding of southern
California, the Peninsula seemed
like paradise.
‘““We scrambled back to B.C.,
saying, look what we’ve got —.
aren’t we lucky.” |
They started a charicr boat scr-
vice, Wildlife Charters, which
offered trips for fishing, diving,
kayaking, whale watching, photog-
raphy and tours of marine pubs,
using a convericd S50-foot west
coast trawler. ce
