Hello captains:

I am enthusiastic, easy to get on with, reasonably fit with some experience on the water looking to up my skills and knowledge of sailing and marine operations (hands on approach), travel, and breathe the salt air. I expect to do my share aboard (night watch, cleaning, cooking), am a team player with a positive attitude and good sense of humour.

I love the cruising lifestyle and hope to find a recreational/cruising crew position with an experienced, knowledgeable captain on a safe, well equipped vessel. I prefer the warmer climes, but coming from the Pacific Northwest, I am used to colder, wet weather.

My experience in boating/sailing has been intermittent over the past 20 yrs; there have been casual sails, cruise & learns in the beautiful waters of the Pacific Northwest. At home, I’ve been racing the past year on a 32’ Discovery. So far, my sailing adventures have taken me over 6500nm. I've enjoyed the different cultures, the thrill and peace of sailing, and meeting likeminded sailors.

Now retired, however my career background was in interior design/sewing with a short history of sailmaking/rigging/canvas work. Other interests include art & architecture; In the last few years I have traveled throughout Europe and Mexico, all of which are a feast for the eyes of an artist and lover of architecture & design.
Food, love food and cooking; have catered and bartended private & business functions. I do not smoke or use drugs, drink socially. A healthy lifestyle and sense of humour are invaluable for quality of life on and off the water.
I enjoy a variety of music (blues, rock, soft jazz, cuban, classical..) but also love the clanging of halyards in the wind when tied up in a marina.
