Dear Shipmates

Introduction

Looking for the opportunity to gain sea miles in pursuit of USCG Captain's license and preparing for eventual circumnavigation. From 2017 – 2020, owned my own 2017 Bavaria 37C in charter fleet in Pacific Northwest. Began skippering regularly in 2007 and have sailed multiple weeks every year since then in the Pacific Northwest and the Virgin Islands, both solo sailing and with crew. Offshore voyage as crew in 2016 from Norfolk, VA to British Virgin Islands, and as crew in 2020 from St. Thomas, USVI to New York City; Yachtmaster Offshore certification 2019 as part of two-week circumnavigation of Vancouver Island as crew.
