Looking for sailing opportunties and adventure!!!
Hello! I retired Jan 2025 and am seeking crew opportunities (recreational cruising and/or deliveries). Sailing is an important part of my life and have sailed for 35+ years on a variety of boats and have co-owned several monohulls. I enjoy all aspects of sailing -- cruising, sailing locally and afar, racing, deliveries, and am volunteer crew on a historic skipjack in Annapolis, MD. I do not get seasick, am a team player, and will participate/share in every aspect of sailing -- watches, navigation, provisioning, cooking, boat maintenance, etc.
I desire to sail and explore other parts of the world now that I have more time and flexibility. I truly love to sail and be on/around the water. I find every sail is a unique experience and always a learning experience (about myself and others aboard)... I enjoy snorkeling, swimming, kayaking, paddle boarding, exploring beaches, and love the sound of the wind and waves. I appreciate exploring new destinations as well as stargazing, and watching the moon and sun rise and set, especially at sea.
I cruised for a year along the East Coast (MA to FL) and ~6 months in the Bahamas on previous owned boat (Sabre 34), and have sailed extensively in the Caribbean in Puerto Rico, USVI, BVI, Leeward and Windward islands (Lagoon 450/Lagoon 42), and in Europe from France to Portugal (Lagoon 42), including Bay of Biscay passage. I've also sailed in the Whitsunday Islands in Australia -- enjoyed the beauty and remoteness.
Have also been crew on various offshore deliveries (solo and night watches) -- Annapolis, MD to St. Thomas (50' catamaran), St. Augustine, FL to Annapolis, MD (49' monohull), Cape Cod, MA to Annapolis, MD (70' schooner), Marsh Harbor, Bahamas to Annapolis, MD (42' catamaran).
