I completed ASA 103 and 104 in June 2021 and I am working on ASA 105. In April, 2022, I rented a bareboat charter of a Tartan 3400 for two days in Charleston, South Carolina. In July, 2019, I crewed on a delivery of an Oyster 54 from West Palm Beach, FL, to Newport, RI, all offshore. Several year ago, I was in a sailing club in Cocoa Beach, Florida with access to a Catalina 25 which I usually sailed single-handedly. Now on the west coast of Florida, I am seeking opportunities to find friends to sail with and gain experience. I am available for day sails and possibly trips a bit longer. I am also considering joining Sailtime and hope to eventually buy a pocket cruiser.

62-year-old husband, father, and grandfather. Teacher and 20-year Air Force veteran and retiree. I really love sailing.

During the first half of my career in the Air Force, I was an aircraft mechanic and then became a public affairs specialist (journalist).

I have been a bagpiper for 10 years, and take lessons via Skype with a great instructor in Scotland!

I hope to meet other people who enjoy sailing and help them with their boats. I eventually want to gain enough experience and knowledge be able to buy my own pocket cruiser and explore the SE United States and the Bahamas.
