Dear Shipmates

Introduction

HI, Relatively new to sailing. Took my ASA 101 in 2021, ASA 103/104 in the Spring of 2022. Club racing and cruising with the St Croix Sailing Club in Hudson, WI summer of 2022 to the present. That also included a 4 day/4 boat crew class. December 2022, 450 NM passage cruising around the Bahamas and final destination Fort Lauderdale, FL. May of 2023 day sailing out of Mazatlan Mexico. October 2023 2 weeks out of Seattle area cruising the San Juan Islands and overnights to Neah Bay and back. Also some racing and day sailing on Lake Superior out of Thunder Bay, Ontario and Bayfield, WI. Also had a bareboat monohull charter out of Mazatlan. I also share a 24 ft S2 sloop the past 2 summers that I use for casual cruising. That's also located in Hudson, WI. For 15 years I have been a volunteer member of the county dive team to do all sorts of water recovery operations. I'm not a certified diver. I am a certified public safety dive tender, ROV operator, boat operator, and side scan sonar operator. I'm retired, healthy and capable, have a few bucks to spend and am easy going.

Just a note about partying. I don't care how much partying is done, fun is fun as long as it isn't a regular occurrence that crew/captain are stupid drunk. I drink a little and again I'm not a buzz killer.

I'm looking for boats thru the spring of 2025. I usually like a 2-3 week commitment.
