Kathryn grew up in the mid-west Illinois and Michigan. In 1974 her love of sailing took her to Florida where she sailed as first mate on "Tern" a 33 Swiftsure to the Bahamas, and many of the Caribbean Islands. She met her husband Gordon, who had just built a 48 ft catch "Moondancer" in England. They spent the rest of the season sailing and chartering the Caribbean Islands where they sold "Moondancer". They built "Memory" in 1979, a 65-foot schooner with a 10-ton cargo hold and did inter-island trading of Haitian art and woodworking, coffee and handwork from Venezuela to the East Coast of the United States.

Kathryn and Gordon sailed to New York City in 1986 and representing St. Vincent and the Grenadines in the Tall Ships parade. With the opportunity close at hand to sail on to the coast of Maine, Kathryn and family fell in love with the Mid-Coast area and Penobscot Bay.

The Kathryn B. was sold in 2005 to a couple that took her south.
