About Me:

After many years of focus on kids, family and professional life, Im desiring to explore, to wander a bit and adventure. A mix of a homesteader and a gypsy, balance is at times hard to achieve. I find the natural world (mountains or sea) a place that feeds something deep in me.

Sailing Experience:
I have been sailing and adventuring for almost three decades. Bahamas, Sea of Cortez and mostly the Salish Sea. Ive owned three boats and currently own a Catalina 42. Every summer for 25 years I haven’t missed the trek North to the San Juan’s, Guif Islands and points North. I went to San Carlos Mexico last May to look at a possible blue water cruiser for a Sea of Cortez semi-retirement plan and returned home to a divorce. I thought my co-captain had the same cruising and retirement plans as me. Surprisingly and apparently not. Since then, Ive spent much of the last year, re-tooling and re-rigging my professional life, retirement and boat for a much different last 30-35 (fingers crossed) years. SV Namaste will have to be my Mexico and southern destination adventure companion and whoever shows up as crew.
Sailing Qualifications:

My sailing qualifications, like life, have all come from showing up, making mistakes and learning from them. Sailing, like my sons birth 22 years ago, was a love at first sight. The very first broad reach exiting Cattle Pass, headed East towards Ice Berg Pt. was all it took 27 years ago.
