| I am actually 77 years old. I am physically fit and serve as crew on deliveries. I am a retired lawyer but I am an active investor in several small businesses. Accordingly, I usually require some notice for extensive trips. I have been sailing all my life and I have chartered all over the world ( mostly with Moorings). In 2023 I successfully completed the US Sailing Assn course “ Offshore Safety at Sea”. I also have a number of ASA certifications. I am currently a partner in a Catalina 42 berthed in Ventura, CA. I have sailed and cruised extensively in the Pacific NW from the US San Juan Islands to the Broughtons in BC. I have also sailed the Pacific Coast of Mexico and the Sea of Cortez. I would like to do a Pacific crossing and I would love to do some high latitude sailing. | |
