Dear Shipmates

Introduction

I am married, retired young and have a lot of free time on my hands. I grew up on the ocean around Southern California and Baja, Mexico. I now live in Spokane, Washington and although I get plenty of time on the lakes and rivers around here, I miss the ocean. I’m an avid fisherman and scuba diver. 90% of my sea time is on powerboats and I am now learning to sail and looking to gain more experience.

A little about myself, my interests and my plans

I have made multiple trips between San Diego and Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, including all the stops and islands along the way, 3 trips to Guadalupe Island, La Paz, East Cape, Midriff Islands. In addition to all of Baja, I have fished out of Puerto Vallarta, Zihuatanejo and Quepos, Costa Rica. I am very familiar with all the California Channel Islands, Puget Sound, San Juan Islands and Ketchikan, Alaska.

My motivation and reasons to crew on a boat

I am a US Coast Guard Licensed Master Captain (25-Ton) and am interested in gaining more sea-service time so I can eventually upgrade to a 100 Ton license. I'm looking to serve as Crew on yacht deliveries and passages. I would also like to gain more sailing experience when possible.
