Hello! I am preparing to cast off on a new journey. I started sailing in 2017 and fell in love with it. I knew that after retirement I would set off to explore the globe for fun instead of work…my job has taken me around the world three times, without the opportunity to stop and smell the flowers. Retirement is very near (Feb 2024), and after that I’ll cast off on a new life journey. I have no set agenda or itinerary. My goal is to enjoy each new place until a new destination is set…I don’t know where; I don’t know how long; I don’t know who. I just know that I love sailing and I’m taking off. For the last year I’ve been training to do everything solo, but honestly it’s more fun with company. So here I am…
I don’t want to sound boring, but coming from a career in military aviation, safety is number one with me. There are many parallels between aviation and sailing that I’m able to take advantage of…mainly, always taking off and landing safely. I always wear a PFD on the ocean, and I clip in at night and in rough seas. So let’s enjoy getting around this world safely 😊.
