Welcome
Home John Gage!
Shrewsbury Power Squadron member, John Gage completed his 3 yr. around the word sailing trip on his 42 ft sailboat,
“DreamCatcher”.
This has been a life long dream of John's, which he has made
come true.
The squadron got together to welcome him home on May 12th, 2007.
A few of our larger boats went out to meet him while other members joined in as passengers.
Squadron members, family and friends met at the Raritan Yacht Club in Perth Amboy
for a Welcome Home get-together.
Among some of the awards presented were an award from Shrewsbury Power Squadron,
a Certificate from District 4, and a Certificate of Recognition signed by (then) Acting Governor Codey.
Our Squadron was excited to have the homecoming event covered on the local news.
In addition, John's voyage was written up in Ocean Navigator Magazine.
It is believed that John may be the world's oldest person to circumnavigate the world.
Congratulations and Welcome Home John!
