Sandy Cathcart

Sandy has traveled extensively, fishing the Sea of Ohotsk in Far East Russia, sailing over Lake Baikal in Siberia, cycling the backroads of China, rowing across the rivers of Vietnam, swimming in Israel’s Dead Sea and the Gulf of Mexico, trekking across Peru and Haiti, and hiking across Lantau Island.

With The Cat Man, she rafts rivers in tahitis, hunts deer and elk, skis cross-country and downhill, canoes marshlands, tracks antelope across the desert, fishes rivers and lakes, sailboards and water skis, climbs mountains, hikes on a daily basis, and just about anything else there is to do in the outdoors.

She grew up on stories of her Cherokee great grandmother who some said was a healer and others said was a witch. Sandy has been comfortable in wilderness since she was seven years old and, even now, her friends lovingly call her an “animal magnet.”
