| I have been sailing for over 40 years and recently took it up as my life style. COVID put a halt quickly in 2020 and I am ready to get back on the water. I am very easy-going, enthusiastic, positive attitude, adventurous and am available with short notice. I have a lot of experience sailing in all conditions and always looking to learn more. I am a creative cooker and enjoy meeting new people from all over the world! Other activities I enjoy are hiking, audible, drone pilot, watching movies and have a great sense of humor. I am available on an as needed basis and would be very interested in anything you have coming up now or in the future. I look forward to continuing my adventures and doing what I love! | |
