Dear Shipmates
Introduction
My Gulfstar 41 were badly damaged in Hurricane Ian
I KNOW I should keep my nose to the grindstone and get the Gulfstar in the water and sailing ASAP but the truth is I would rather GO SAILING WITH YOU!😎
I am a 20 year Navy Retiree and was a Aviation electronics technician and held the rank of Chief Petty Officer for 11 of those years! I love sailing and have had my own sailboats since 1991.
I am easy going, confident, experienced, very healthy, and ready to go! I hesitated to check both the "prefer some nudity" AND "ready to party" because neither are all that significant. I usually just go with the flow and have a good time as long as I don't end up in jail! LOL
I also own a 1966, 31 C&C Corvette that is fun to sail but far too small for anything but a few days at a time. I keep this boat in North Carolina on a trailer and sail her during hurricane season when my Gulfstar will be stored on the hard.
I have traveled the world while in the Navy and am looking for many more adventures in the coming years!

share experiencevisit remote placesseek adventurefulfill a dreamfind a soulmate/partnergain experiencelive off the gridsustainable traveltravel
I have a LOT of experience with Sailboat maintenance and sailing in protected waters. I have crewed offshore several times and loved it! I was divorced four years ago.
My ex-wife was afraid to go out of protected water so I have very little experience there. I WANT TO LEARN! i WANT TO CRUISE!
