SHANAN MANGO WOLFE
I started sailing full time in 2017, and with full time boat life came a distinct drop in the creativity I had previously enjoyed as a theater student and then young struggling actor. Journaling, blogging, and writing my sailing stories has become a pivotal way for me to process my adventures, and getting them published a way to share them with the wider world. The following articles have been published in a range of sailing magazines, including SAIL and WOODEN BOAT.
