My name is Russ I have a lifetime of boating experience from ski boats to chartered 50-foot mono hulls and power boats. I have completed multiple crossings including the Atlantic and several crossings of the Pacific. I have also undertaken several delivery trips up and down the East Coast of the US and have done so in all types of weather and in spring, summer and late fall.

I have traveled in the Caribbean, Fiji, Samoa, Western Europe and Mexico and considerable travels around the U.S.

I am now fulfilling some of my life's ambitions to be on the sea. I am a PADI certified Advanced Open Water diver with experience in both cold and warm water but I far prefer the warmer water (who wouldn't).

I have considerable experience with mechanical, electrical and radio/electronics systems and possess a USA, FCC General Class Radiotelephone Operators license in addition to multiple US Sailing Association certificates. I feel confident in my mechanical and electric trouble shooting skills.

I spent my career working in a very diverse community. We all worked together as a team and everyone brings something interesting and valuable to the team/crew. I can cook a bit but it is not my passion. My Spanish is passable but there is definitely room for improvement.
