I have the bug to hit the water again to help with a delivery or As an owner/captain, I appreciate the importance of safety and communication between all crew. I was also the one who had to sleep with one ear open and trained my body to be sensitive to changes in boat direction and roll. I enjoy a good laugh, will pitch in on boat projects, as needed, I can cook, make bread, and change the oil. I am 66 years old, in very good health with tennis, biking and skiing as my past times. I also crew occasionally in races. Retired CPA partner from Deloitte and BDO. I have my own consulting practice that I am winding down. The stars are aligned for me to spend time sailing again.
