About Me:

I love sailing hence the reason I am on this site; hiking when ever I can, kayaking, cycling, cooking all kinds of food especially when wine is involved, love dancing, and enjoy live music. I have an upbeat personality, an appetite for life; very social yet enjoy my downtime, bigger than life laughter, and et cetera. I listen to wide variety of music from Jazz to classical, 1940's Blues to good old country music, what ever tickles my my soul. Since I have retired, I would like to find a mind-a-like friend (seasoned sailor perhaps) to incorporate sailing life into my next chapter and see where it goes.

Sailing Experience:

My first sailing experience was on a Hobie Cat 18 in the early 90's on Texas lakes. I have raced on all types of sailboats as a crew, and handled the helm if needed during races while other crew member set the spinnaker. Currently, I am still racing... I totally enjoy night sail on the lake - it's so peaceful. Pleasure sailed at BVI and got hooked even more. My sailing experience is mainly on the lake (shifty winds, may I add).
