- About Me:
-
I love adventure, art, water, and words – particularly in combination. I am an accomplished artist, sailor, cook, and writer. (I’m saving dancing and singing for my next life.) I am smart, funny, sarcastic, quick-witted and imaginative. I am a licensed sea captain with a penchant for perfect earrings.
I’m often goofy and I’ve spent hours coming up with new names for drinks. Two things I’ll probably only do once – hitchhike across the Pacific on sailboats and skydive. I love hardware stores, tinkering and making new things out of discarded ones, like the bookshelf I made from crutches (see skydiving).
No matter the circumstances, I am a loyal, forgiving and trustworthy friend. I am a cynical romantic (is there any other kind?). - Sailing Experience:
