Dear Shipmates

Introduction

Have always dreamed of sailing, though have only managed to get on small boats on Lake Superior and Long Island Sound, and small lakes in my home state of Minnesota. Looking to gain experience sailing, preferably in Southeast Asia, and, if the lifestyle fits, acquiring a boat. Would also like to sail the Med, but prefer to stay based in Asia initially.

I live in China but love SE Asia and travel there often. Professionally, have practiced law, taught East Asian history, and worked in business in China. I aim to take the task at hand seriously, without taking myself too seriously.
