I am an active, professional, successful retired business owner (only work part time remotely. I have been living in the , first Panama for a year, and then the Dominican Republic with my partner for the last several years. I have recently returned to the United states to regroup and look for my next adventure. I am looking to eventually purchase a blue water boat. I am a very experienced waterman and have a love for all water based recreation; including SCUBA, Kiteboarding, SUP and a bit of surfing, I am very active and fit. I am also very mechanically minded, good with my hands and a fantastic problem solver. My professional background is in networking and technology infrastructure so I am very adept to digital communication such as Starlink and other solutions. I can be very useful on a boat. I am also very easy going and open minded. I enjoy being part of a group and to contribute to boat operations. and having everyone enjoy themselves. I also love to cook, especially the creative part of taking only available ingredients and creating something delicious.
Finally, I am a RYA certified Skipper certified.
Also, I recently crewed on a Lagoon 52 doing did a delivery from the BVI's to Granada over a 3 week period. It was a combination of recreational sailing but we had a schedule to keep.

I grew up on the Gulf of Mexico on the West coast of Florida. My childhood was spent sailing some sort of a vessel every weekend, from a short board windsurfer, to a 40 Ft Catamaran and everything in between...Monohulls, Catamarans, Trimarans were my weekend play things. Did a lot of coastal cruising and weekend trips up and down the gulf coast. I Spent many hours on the water doing every kind of watersports one can imagine. I relocated a couple of years ago and am currently in the DR to hone my kiteboarding and surfing skills. I am a also a certified RYA Coastal Skipper as well as have my life saving and marine RF radio license. Would love to get more live abord experience! Looking to co-captain as crew with cool, chill, fun people. Have lots of skills to assist and share my waterman skills with whoever wants to learn.
