Dear Shipmates

Introduction

I really like sailing - I think about it almost every day. I worked 20 years in the technology industry and am still into the latest gadgets and innovations. I own my own business and am married with older kids. I love things of the sky including astronomy and weather. I also enjoy camping and generally being outdoors. My wife and I have been sailing together on bareboat charters for abotu 10 years and I’ve been into sailing since I was 16 (which is about 36 years ago). I want to do more sailing.

I have basic sailing and boat skills and have chartered numerous monohulls and a catamaran previously for day/weekend sailing in the Keys and Texas bays. I don’t really have experience with offshore sailing and that is why I want to go with other people. I love to fix things and solve problems. I also love to cook and bake.

My motivation and reasons to crew on a boat

fulfill a dreamface challengesgain experiencelearn to sail

Some day I want to live with my wife on a boat. I’ve never done offshore sailing and I want to get experience with this to make sure it’s what I want. I also want to learn from people with more experience so that I know more about the kind of boat and equipment I may want to buy when my someday comes.
