Dear Shipmates

Introduction

Open and flexible schedule, semi-retired. Eager to learn and seeking to gain more sailing experience with plans to buy my own boat.

I spent many years working long hours and building a successful real estate business. Realizing the achievement wasn’t fulfilling me any longer was a game changer and I decided to retire from real estate and built a portfolio of vacation rental properties. I manage the properties I own mostly passively and remotely which has enabled me to travel and the desire to learn to sail has quickly grown into a passion.

I have social media experience and am happy to show you how to build or grow your social media accounts if that is of interest to you.

A little about myself, my interests and my plans

I’m very much a glass half-full silver lining girl who is lively and vibrant. I believe in learning new things every day and I’m always striving to become better. I laugh a lot and enjoy life to the fullest.

I love travel and adventure and especially enjoy meeting new people and experiencing new cultures.

My motivation and reasons to crew on a boat

seek adventuregain experiencelearn to sailtravel

I love adventure and sailing has long been a dream of mine. Being semi-retired has led me to the desire to buy a sailboat and explore the world from the seas. I’m actively working to gain sailing experience and at the same time, meet new people and have memorable experiences.

So far I’ve sailed 4 trips from the Bahamas and South Florida up to Cape Charles and Baltimore (Outside around Hatteras 4 times) and I just finished a month long sail from Annapolis up around Long Island Sound, to Boston and back to the Chesapeake. A total of appx 5100nm to date. I'm headed now for the Canary Islands for my first Atlantic Crossing trip and expect to be in Saint Lucia in the Caribbean mid-December. Would love to connect with another boat in the Caribbean around that time for crew opportunities. I’m comfortable with night watches and navigation and am learning more and more about working with the sails and the nuances of that which I'm loving.
