Dear Shipmates

Introduction

Hi, I am Todd, 58 yo retired scientist pursuing my interests in Sailing, Triathlon, and Travel. Long term sailing is a potential goal of mine that I’d like to explore further through serving as a crew member. I am a long time owner of a 23' motor boat, currently own a 27' sailboat, comfortable on the ocean and have not experienced seasickness. I'm a decent cook, tidy, hardworker and have a positive attitude!
Sailing experience: 2010 summer dinghy sailing, 2019 crewed on Canaries to Cape Verde (Broadblue 42), 2020/21 completed ASA certifications (101,103,104) 30+ days sailing sonars, soiings, J24, J27, and a Beneteau 36, crewed on attempted crossing from Gibraltar (Westerly 48) but had to return after mechanical issues, 2022 Yarmouth NS to Portland ME (Swan 48), Woods Hole MA to Hampton VA (Beneteau 43), 2023 season mid Chesapeake Bay 50+ days primarily solo day sails and weekend trips.
