Lorena and Leonard Landon have been boating Pacific Northwest waters for 35 years. Primarily power boaters, they have piloted boats of various types, everything from sport boats to semi-displacement trawler vessels. In the early years, they bareboat-chartered, cruising between Olympia, WA and the reaches of British Columbia with their two young sons. Since 2010, they have been cruising year-round on their 46’ Pilothouse trawler, Got d’Fever, and have logged over 22,000 miles on West Coast waters from Manzanillo, Mexico to Yakutat, Alaska. They have cruised five seasons in Southeast Alaska and have spent the last three seasons cruising as Managing Editors of the Waggoner Cruising Guide. Leonard has extensive navigation skills both as a boater and a licensed aircraft pilot. Lorena enjoys the unique adventures that boating brings and writes blogs for each of their excursions. She was the author of Cleats & Eats, a series of restaurant guidebooks for boaters, published from 2002-2010, and has written articles for local boating magazines. Lorena served on the Boating Programs Advisory Committee for the State of Washington RCO for eight years.
