Kathe grew up Southwest Harbor, Maine, in and out of her father's and grandfather's boat shops and on the water in various vessels. Sailing on inland lakes at camps and on the family boats out of Southwest Harbor were a large part of summers with family and friends. From the late '60s through early '80s, the family summer vacation was going to the Friendship Sloop Races in Friendship Harbor on their 1904 Friendship Sloop, Dictator, along with many sails with family and friends to island beaches. Kathe and her husband, Dan, live on Mount Desert Island and have five grown children and several grandchildren. They both are USCG Master Captains and enjoy working and sailing their Friendship Sloop around the nearby islands and in and out of harbors.
