Dear Shipmates

Introduction

Hi - I want to buy my own boat soon, so I'd like to find an experienced captain to mentor me (teach me to sail). I grew up in Michigan and have spent years fishing the great Lakes (salmon, walleye mostly)... I'm 53, divorced with no kids or much other family. I gave up my material possessions 8 years ago so I could afford to travel for long periods of time - over 25 countries since 2013.

I was a golf pro for 17 years with management experience at some of the best facilities in the country. I have also worked 18 pro events for the PGA, Champions Tour, and the LPGA. I'm a good cook, clean, honest, loyal, strong and not afraid to work hard (no matter the task).. and have lots of experience fishing.

A little about myself, my interests and my plans
