I have been sailing for about 7 years in the San Francisco Bay Area. I belong to Modern sailing and my husband and I have done bareboat sailing in Tahiti, BVI's and the west coast of California, ranging from 5 to 14 days. We plan to become full time cruisers in the next year and a half. I am recently retired and trying to gain as much experience as possible. I sail both mono's and cats and currently actively crew as a first mate in both the San Diego area (40 foot Pacific Seacraft) and the San Francisco Bay (28 foot Catalina). I am easy to be around, adaptable and physically active. My hobbies, outside of sailing, backpacking (all over the world) snow skiing and biking (road and mountain) and photography. | |
