Ahoy!!!

Ahoy!!! I am looking to get days and miles at sea. I did my first solo sailing at age 7 and have sailed all over the Caribbean, the West coast of France, Spain and Portugal to Gibraltar, and then on to Eastern Greece, the East and West Coasts of the US, the Pacific Northwest and the length of Baja. Addtionally, I have been skipper on 12 bareboat charters, five of which were on catamarans of 39 - 55 LOA. If you need crew there are very few jobs too big or too small for me.

I am fun loving, easy to get along with, low maintenance, physically fit, travel light and bring my own gear. Occasionally I am also known to strum a chord or two on a guitar and even sing a verse here or there. I also LOVE to cook and generally do so without complaints from those eating my fare. I sail every chance I get and currently own a Hobie 18 and am former owner of sailboats between 22 and 31 feet. No job aboard is too small or too big and I have a fair bit of experience with repair and maintenance of diesel motors and other maritime systems. But above all else, I will show up when and where I say that I will and I will always be grateful for the opportunity to push off from the dock and watch the land disappear below the horizon.
