Dear Shipmates
Introduction
Hi shipmates, I am a single, very healthy and fit, retired electrical engineer, UMASS grad, Navy electrician. I am just getting into sailing and would love to sail on a small monohull this winter in a warm climate. I own a small sailboat and have been through ASA101,103, 104, recently logged 1000nm sailing from Newport RI to St Martin ARC Rally. I can cook, go a long time without sleep, and am very easygoing. I am willing to contribute to the boat's maintenance, my food expenses, and fuel/dock expenses for sailing experience.
