I am a retired professor of physiology and biophysics, in good health, and crew member on a Freedom 35 ft coastal and offshore racing yacht. I seek adventurous outdoor stimuli to complement my rigorous fitness routines (walking, swimming, cycling, Pilates), piano practice, voracious reading and avid competitive chess-playing.

From an early age, I was bilingual in Polish and English, my parents having settled in Scotland after World War II. Later, I took four years of Latin, French, English, History, Mathematics and Science, and went on to study Biochemistry at St. Andrews University.

I translated three years of postgraduate research in protein and cell separation at Edinburgh University into a NASA-funded SkyLab project at the University of Arizona, a fellowship at Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, a doctoral degree in Physiology and Biophysics from the University of Alabama in Birmingham, and faculty positions at the University of California, Los Angeles and most recently at the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston.

Along the way, I played bass guitar in a rock band, traveled through Europe and the Middle East, lived for a year on an Israeli kibbutz, performed in a modern dance troupe, and published extensively in the fields of electrophoresis, immunology, gastric physiology, cell biology, and microbiology. Abiding interests and activities were/are skiing, sailing, scuba diving, and always chess.

With time in abundance, I'm motivated to travel, preferably sustainably, visiting out-of-the-way places, facing challenges while living off the grid, and sharing activity with like-minded companions while building and gaining more life-affirming crew experience myself. Importantly, I'm eager to build coastal and offshore sailing time and distance, improving my prospects in finding boats.
