Ahoy!

I'm in the planning stages for my retirement sailing, which will start in the summer of 2025. I'll need crew!

My boat is a 1979 Pearson 323 (32') that has be refit in 2008 and ready for coastal cruising. She also has some nice upgrades to make her easy to handle from the cockpit.

I have chartered in the Caribbean and have ASA certifications 101, 103, 104, and 105. I have logged hundreds of hours coastal sailing and prefer coastal sailing.

If you are interested, please contact me and we can discuss destinations. Currently moored on Lake Pepin, a large natural lake on the Mississippi River south of St. Paul, MN. I plan to have her delivered to Lake Superior to start the adventure of crossing the Great Lakes to the Atlantic. Want to join me? Send me a message and let’s make plans together.

Cheers!

Tom
