Dear Shipmates

Introduction

I owned a 34 ft Hunter sailing vessel, spent 6 months upgrading and outfitting her full-time. Wife and I sailed her around Galveston Bay and Intracoastal Waterway. Have bareboat chartered in the BVIs, the Florida Keys, and Puget Sound. Have crewed aboard racers, deliveries, and cruisers in Galveston Bay, Gulf of Mexico, Panama, and upper East Coast. Bookshelf full of sailing adventure and "how to" books. I love water sports! Certified scuba diver, strong swimmer. Currently own a 16 ft Prindle catamaran and a 17 ft powerboat.

Retired computer programmer and online teacher. In excellent health! Also an amateur musician. I'm into astronomy, and can do celestial nav, if needed. Preferably looking for adventure anywhere around North America, the Bahamas or the Caribbean.
