Dear Shipmates
Introduction
Hi, I love sailing and would love to join you and help you enjoy your sailing adventures .
I am in good health and active physically ( I swim at least one hour a day) . I am a retired health care professional .
I have owned sailboats for over 40 years with my last boat being a 41 foot Catana catamaran. My sailing experience includes buoy and ocean racing and at least 20 trips from the US to Mexico, a transatlantic trip on my J160 from Florida to Corfu, Greece and most recently a delivery from Hawaii to San Francisco with my son. Additionally I have cruised the Bahamas, Windward and Leeward Caribbean islands and Belize.
I have had a USCG 6 pack license and am in the process of obtaining my SLC License.
