Dear Shipmates
Introduction
I originally learned to sail about 40 years ago in British Columbia, I have owned many smaller power boats over the years, and currently own my own 2006 -38 ft Hunter sailboat. I believe I have a very positive outlook on life, and can enjoy the humour in most anything, even when things are going badly. I am retired after 40 years in the design, construction, and financial industry. I enjoy bike riding, scuba diving, learning spanish, staying in good physical condition, nice meals, travel and exploring new locations, trying new adventures, and great company. I am a widower, I have three kids and three grandkids,
