Dear Shipmates

Introduction

My name is Al, and I have the time to sail. Therefore, I am looking to sail. I imagine most sailors will understand. My other sports are skiing and biking, and I live in the mountains. I recently completed my RYA Day Skipper certification, VHF short range radio, and Radar. For 30+ years, I taught high school and college Mathematics and Statistics. I enjoy teaching and working with students, and I enjoy learning. I grew up in an Italian restaurant, therefore I know how to cook. I like to play chess, backgammon, and cribbage, as well as any logic games.
