Dear Shipmates
Introduction
***fully vax and boosted (12/21)***
Corporate executive who took a year off (2021) to learn how to be a better sailor. During the year, I bought and refitted a 25' C&C; double-handed a 53' Jenneau (s/v Sempre Avanti) from Miami to NYC and back. No ICW.
Crewed in the ARC '21 on a 40' modified Benneteau First (s/v Olympia's Tigress). No auto-pilot, bimini, water maker, engine. 19.5 days to cross.
Crewed again on s/v Olympia's Tigress with owner in Les Voiles de St Barth regatta (Apr. '22).
Beyond enjoying the water, I'm an avid traveler (43 countries) comfortable in challenging situations. I like astronomy, diving, photography and learning about new cultures and languages. Drone videography and kiteboarding are two activities I would like to pursue while cruising.
