Outdoor enthusiast that's novice at much, but enthusiastic about every opportunity I am afforded and able to participate in. Cycling, hiking, skiing, rock climbing, paddling kayaks have been all good, but a bit more limiting. I've been doing most activities solo for many years. I love the teamwork and camaraderie that is a present with sailing/sailors. Looking to assist as crew, practice and grow my competence. I am able in many capacities including I love to cook. Seeking to expand my sailing experience, knowledge and even new relationships.
