| Sailing is a life-long passion, and I love the beautiful and remote anchorages that cruising provides. Sailing was a way of life for me up until starting a family. Now ready to return after several years 'on the hard.' I have sailed from Vancouver, Canada to the South Pacific and back through Hawaii as a Watch Lead, and to Alaska and back as a Captain of my own boat. I have also extensively cruised the West Coast of British Columbia. I own a Sceptre 41 cruising sailboat that I enjoy sailing the coast of BC and Alaska. | |
