    Curt Wiebe

    Curt Wiebe is a retired sales engineer with too many hobbies and not enough time. Besides sailing on the oversized sloughs residents of Alberta call “lakes,” he also spends his time traveling, camping, rebuilding vintage fiberglass travel trailers, bicycling, slot car racing, trying to finish the items on his “Honey-do List” before it gets too long, and walking The Girls, his two pit bull cross rescues. He has previously been published in Pacific Yachting and Slot Car Mods magazines.
