Dear Shipmates

Introduction

I am a 71 year old male who loves sailing. My experience includes captaining my sailboat through the Caribbean, an Atlantic crossing as a trainee on a tall ship, and volunteering as regular crew on a different tall ship. My most recent adventures were participating in the North American Rally to the Caribbean (NARC) in November 2022 (Newport, RI to USVI) and crewing on a 39 foot sailboat from Hawaii to the state of Washington (August 2023). I have traveled in many countries including in Africa, the Middle East and Asia. I like meeting interesting people from anywhere in the world. I'm looking forward to just having fun on your boat.
