Have raced sailboats in all kinds of weather – lakes and coastal.
Can cook, navigate, stand watch, share expenses, travel to and from connections. I’m not a mechanic, but can change a fuel filter and repair running lights, basic maintenance, etc. Have logged over 8,000 miles on blue water deliveries. Can usually catch a fish trolling behind a sailboat.
