Being on the water either on a sailboat or my paddle board are where I am happiest. I love discovering new places, food and meeting new people. My dream is to one day have my own boat in the Caribbean and am looking to gain more experience before I do.

Boat cooking is my favourite way to cook because you have to be creative with the food that is available. I enjoy doing boat chores from cleaning the hull, organizing storage, running errands or simply cleaning the fridge. I have done a number of night watches, all of which were done with only one other person aboard. I am used to "napping" in the cockpit and have excellent vision, both day and night. I prefer being at anchor than in a marina, can drive a dinghy, use Navionics and know never to make plans because they can change at anytime.

I got my Basic and Intermediate Cruising Certifications in Toronto as well as my Maritime Restricted Operator's Certificate. I also have my Advanced Open Water.

All my offshore sailing experiences have been recreational.

Dec 2021 - May 2022: I sailed with a friend on his Jeanneau SO 40 starting in Nassau, Bahamas > Turks > Dominican > Puerto Rico > Spanish VIs > US VIs > BVIS > back up to San Juan Puerto Rico and helped him prep his boat to be left in the marina for the summer.

My dog Beau was my primary reason to stay in Toronto, being senior and very small it would have been hard to have him with me in the Caribbean. Unfortunately, while I was making plans to go back home to be with him he passed in April 2023. I believe as he took his final breathes he said "Momma, it's time for me to go. It's time for you to chase your dreams and chase the wind." Beau is my motivation.
