Dear Shipmates

Introduction

I’ve spent the past three years completely retrofitting my 28’ Sabre from the bottom up including all new seacocks, composting head, standing rigging, running rigging, re-wired the mast, upgraded all electronics, installed an autopilot and most recently painted the deck and refinished all the bright work and custom built a swim platform for the stern.

I recently spent 50 days on a 35 Caliber Sailboat sailing from Maine to the Bahamas. Traveled through 14 states and have sailed the entire East Coast ICW from Norfolk VA to Miami FL. Logged 2,000 NM on this trip in Oct & Nov 2024.

I'm very motivated and able to carry out any tasks. I'm a team player, great listener, easy going with a good sense of humor.

I have a teaching degree and an MBA and enjoy learning new skills while sharing my knowledge with others.

I am fit and very healthy and always stay active. I enjoy sailing, snorkeling, horseback riding, paddleboarding, bicycling, hiking and riding motorcycles.

My motivation and reasons to crew on a boat

share experienceseek adventurefulfill a dreamface challengesgain experiencetravel

I am 68 years of age, 5’ 6.5”, 168 lbs and am very physically fit non-smoker. I have a good sense of humor, love adventure, great listener thrill seeker, and just love being on the water. I have spent two weeks vacationing in the Caribbean for the past 12 years and absolutely love being on the islands.

I'm retired and am seeking new adventures on a larger boat to gain experience with longer voyages and fulfill my dream of spending multiple days at sea.

Sailing Resume available upon request.
