Dear Shipmates

Introduction

Married, family guy sailing small boats since a kid. Gaining more experience sailing or motoring on more than day sailors. (Retired June 30, '21!) Recently crewed 10 nights from Norfolk to Antigua (sole crew with owning couple) on Sundeer 60' (all nights off shore, 12-4 & 12-4 watches) and 11 nights aboard Amel Santorin 46' ketch from Nassau to Freeport to Fort Pierce (2 overnight sails/watches). Several summers crewed on beer can races and day sails as well as to multi-night coastal trips including one overnight sail. Other experience as well including many day trips sailing on 27' and 38', a 5 day passage on 50' from Newport to Annapolis (taking solo watches under motor and sail 8-12 and 8-12) and joined boy scout troop aboard '60 cat in Bahamas. All a good start! Genuinely nice, capable, extroverted guy looking for fun adventures with accompanying responsibility and work. Say hi!

I love to sail and enjoy the company of friendly, thoughtful, slightly adventurous folks leading or striving towards interesting lives.

I'm hoping to find trips ranging from day sails and overnights near CT to multi-day "passages" that start or end reasonably close to New England. A leg helping bring a boat up to New England from southern states or Caribbean of definite interest!

I am looking for an experienced captain and safe boat.

I love to sail, want modest adventure with safety minded captain, wish to build skills, enjoy feeling part of a team, make friends and get out and live life!
