Dear Shipmates

Introduction

Hi! I am a 62 year old female looking for more offshore experience. I am also a mother of three adults and happy to join a boat with kids. In 2016 I crewed on a Tayana 48 offshore from Miami to Annapolis, and in 2016 and 2018 I crewed returning a J110 from the Annapolis to Bermuda Ocean Race. In 2021 I crewed with a family on a Taswell 56 from Norfolk to Antigua, and in 2022 I did the A2B return again on a Tartan 4100. In 2022 I also crewed in the Salty Dawg Rally from Hampton, VA to Abacos, Bahamas on a Tartan 4700. Approximately 5000 nm offshore.
