Hi, I am Robin. I am a wife, a mother, an entrepreneur and a sailing enthusiast. I would love more than anything to be a crew member on the 2019 Atlantic ARC. I currently own a Hunter Legend 37.5 and have several years of experience sailing in The Great Lakes/ Georgian Bay. My passions outside of sailing are quality time with interesting people, real estate investing, dogs, and anything to do with fun in the sun on the water! I am driven, capable, very coachable and a quick learner. I am currently taking the RVA Day Skipper eCourse and will be taking the practical on water course in June. I am committed to learning and having the skills to be an exceptional crew member for the ARC Las Palmas to Rodney Bay. I am self contained and non-intrusive, sensitive to the atmosphere on the boat, good humored, and get along well with others. I listen carefully and take direction well. I am grounded and not overly sensitive. I am open to constructive criticism without taking it too personally. I am happy to comply with the routine of the boat and help in all areas. All in all I am fun, good-tempered and very compatible and really want to do this!!! ☺
