.My life has always included travel on water. Mainly fresh Great Lakes Ontario Georgian Bay water. From an early age I spent considerable time with power and sail boats Now I Am working on a couple of books. I love the outdoors and make sure I get some vigorous exercise every day. running, walking. swimming and skiing downhill and cross country in the winter. I have a new sailboat a 45 ft Prout located in Grenada. This is a large roomy that I have used for some months in the winter. I have sailed all around Florida and the Bah8 berth live aboard boat with all the trimings ready to take on the world oceans. I have also done extensive travel through Europe, Asia , Mexico and the USA Australia and crewed on various sailboats all over the world. One 3 month venture by bicycle took me from northern Germany through Europe to Turkey where I sold the bike and spent a month sailing with an older English lady along the south west coast. My aim now is to spend some quality time sailing with others. Meeting new interesting people and experiencing the adventure of far off places. [email protected] 1 780 223-8965 | |
