| Experience: | 6000 ocean miles / 10000 coastal miles |
| I am launching a youtube channel called Sailing OPB that focuses on sailing aboard Other People's Boats (OPB) as I help to captain/crew aboard yachts crossing oceans, cruising islands and life aboard a variety of vessels in locations around the globe. A lifelong sailor, I have sailed over 25,000 miles delivering yachts across oceans and around the world. I have experience as a delivery captain and crew and am adept at dealing with issues that arise while crossing oceans including engine, electrical and sail repair. I'm a non-smoker and don't drink alcohol so generally easygoing aboard with a variety of crew from anywhere. The youtube channel will focus on life aboard, the people who set sail to horizons unknown and life as it unfolds at sea. Issues always come up aboard during long crossings and everyone deals with life at sea differently but the excitement of leaving port and the anticipation of reaching a new anchorage always creates commodity and bonds people of the sea in a unique and lasting family that will remain in our hearts and memories forever. | |
