Dear Shipmates

Introduction

I owned and sailed a 22' Santana in the SF Bay for about 10 years. I've recently retired to FL and am looking to sail or share a charter in South Florida, the Bahamas or other Caribbean location. This year I have done a 5 day sail around St. Marten and St Barth. I have ASA 101, 103, 104 and 114 certs.

A little about myself, my interests and my plans

I'm recently retired and widowed. I have most experience sailing single handed, but have always wanted to sail bareboat charters with others. I want to build up my offshore experience and sailing experience generally, and experience sailing with a group. I really enjoy just being out on the water and have no issues with overnight cruises and sharing the workload.
