Dear Shipmates
Introduction
I am a Japanese American living in Laguna Beach CA. I have been sailing on weekly basis since August 2021 and completed ASA 101, 103 and 104 in April 2023. I have been sailing frequently to keep up my skill and I am interested in sailing long distance as a crew to build up mileage. I sailed from Los Cabos to Ensenada in Mexico in June 2023, Caribbean Islands in July 2023, Pacific Ocean from Nuku Hiva FP to Majuro Marshall Islands in Jan, Feb and March 2024.
