Paramedic who gets on well with everyone. Team player, who can listen and take orders. I like to be safe. I think I'm a conservative sailer. I don't seem to get sea sick, but maybe just a little land sick once back on land :) No ocean sailing experience. Just Great Lakes Cruising and evening and weekend Racing. Led a youth sailing program as a teen. Windsurfer for 20 years. Raced on a Beneteau 36.7 through university and spent most of my time on the bow. Now own a 30 foot 90s cruising boat that I weekend on with my wife and 5 year old son in summers in Georgian Bay. I can handle nights, calm and cool when shit hits the fan. ...and I think I know my way around the kitchen. | |

Relationship status: | married |
Dietary requirements: | Vegan, and I try to stay away from milk products. But I'm flexible and can and will eat anything :) |
