Dear Shipmates

Introduction

I am healthy, enthusiastic, personable, easy going, quiet, responsible, a team player, willing to take orders and do my share plus more if needed. I respect others and their properties. Can take charge if and when needed. It is the moment and journey that counts, so I enjoy life. I am single, and generally prefer to crew as a couple with Susan when and if possible. Looking for opportunities to help anywhere in north america. This year we will be in Florida January through March. Looking for sailing opportunities in and arround Florida during this time.

A little about myself, my interests and my plans

Past owner and CEO of a medium sized corporation. Have owned many 8' to 30' power and sailboats locally and one 38' catamaran in the caribbean for 8 years. Sailing mainly coastal with 1,500 miles as my longest single passage. A few overnight sails with 3 days being the longest. About 10,000 miles to date on the Great Lakes, West coast, Caribbean & Med. as charter, owner, crew or captain. Have piloted 9 to 46' mono and catamaran sailboats. Retired, and enjoy biking, hiking, snorkeling, occasional diving, exercise and water life in general. Past Commodore of WLYC. When at home at the lake I sail dingies, cruise my Duffy electric launch and kayak.
I don't mind physically helping maintain someones boat while gaining the benefit of sharing an adventure.
Taking orders is not a problem.
I am single with a female friend I prefer to have along when and if possible.
My preference on sailing is a catamaran; yet have numerous hours on and enjoy monohulls.

My motivation and reasons to crew on a boat

Having owned many boats I find it easier and less costly than owning the boat. This allows flexibility in meeting people and visiting other locations.
