My wife and I are retiring next year and want to sail the Caribbean for a few years so I would like some ocean experience I have been in the Dairy Queen business for close to 40 years and always done my own repairs, maintenance and renovations. There's not much mechanical or electrical that i can't troubleshoot and repair. I'm also a licensed private pilot with long range navigation experience. | |
