Dear Shipmates

Introduction

Updated May5th, 2024 spent a month on 54’ Halas in Zih and Pacfic Coast of Mexico. Last summer and fall was a trip from San Diego to Puerto Vallarta on a 63’ cat, prior to that a trip from Mallocra to Portugal on a 47 FP cat. In May I did the crossing from St Maarten to Portugal with 30 other boats. Just finished a rally from San Diego to Cabo end of November. After that I will looking for more opportunities.

Looking for the next adventure. I have spent a lot of time over the last year on a cat. Looking for some mono hull time as well. Not opposed to motor yacht. Very easy to get along with and very respectful of chain of command.

A little about myself, my interests and my plans

After 30 years in the fire service I have retired. I am now looking to change my career path. I have over 10,000 miles on a 63’ cat, 47’ cat and 44’ cat. These miles were doing one Atlantic crossing, 2 weeks in Med and two Baja bashes and two sails south from San Diego to Puerto Vallarta. Several day trips in Mexico. Two summers in Hawaii working on a snorkeling/dive boat during college. I am a certified as a EMT, Fire Fighter and Fire Officer. Also CPR and open water diver. Able to work under pressure and adverse conditions. I also able to cook a great meal and laugh over a cold drink.

Looking to live life to its fullest. Make life long friends. Learn a lot, teach some. My goal is to keep building my marine skill set. Please reach out and see if we are the right fit for boat and crew.
