About Me:

After 19 months of being a cancer caregiver, it is time I look ahead and return to the sea. My sailing journey has included inland lake sailing, chartering in the Caribbean mostly, ownership of several boats ranging from a 17 daysailer, to a 31 Island Packet to a Leopard 40 which we kept in the Virgin Islands for several years.

I’m planning on moving to the water (Kemah Texas from Taos New Mexico) daysailing in Galveston Bay and chartering in the Caribbean (and elsewhere) several times a year, and returning to the New Mexico mountains for several summer stretches.

After a fast-paced executive career, I'm interested in slow.

I enjoy swimming, some paddleboarding, walking/hiking, photography, music/singing, snorkeling, writing and good conversation with close friends.

I am fortunate. It’s been such a good life, and I’m looking for that next chapter on the water again!

Sailing Experience:

My sailing preparation includes two ASA courses early on, skippering all of the charter trips, learning the nuts and bolts by owning several boats, and from the lessons on an extended crossing between Galveston and Isla Mujeras, Mexico in 2006. Living aboard for 14 months over 2+ years (2015-2017) has been a highlight I won't ever forget. I have visited nearly all the islands of the eastern Caribbean, plus Belize and the Sea of Cortez. All wonderful experiences filled with the stories that make for great evenings with friends!
