Dear Shipmates

Introduction

I live in Ontario Canada and sail on Lake Ontario and Manitoulin Island. I have two CL Sandpiper 565s and sail one in Port Dalhousie Marina (since 1997) and the second in the Manitoulin Island (2018) I have some exposure to rough weather and sought it out to test my endurance. I am seeking blue water experience on a larger sailboat to determine if liveaboard sailing is a good fit for me in my retirement. From January to March I live on a Feeling 960 in North Miami beach, kayak and bike ride daily.

A little about myself, my interests and my plans

I am retired and can go on extended cruises. I have some qualifications through the Canadian Power and Sail Squadron. For example seamanship, marine radio (DSC), electronic navigation, storm tactics, etc.
