Dear Shipmates
Introduction
I freelance and work remotely, so I can be available at short notice. I have sailed in winds up to 50kts, including from New York to Bermuda, across the Gulf Stream. Also sailed from New York outside down the coast for three weeks to deliver a boat to the Gulf of Mexico. I single-handed an old Pearson 26 around New York Harbor for two years. My single best sailing experience was picking up my mooring under sail in the moonlight.

Born in NZ, but got into sailing in the USA. Moved to Lisbon for the wind, weather, and waves.

Close-hauled with one reef and I'm happy. Looking to get back into overnight sailing after 10 years of sleeping on dry land.
