Great Skipper
I sailed with Tim while moving, Mizu, his 36' Catalina, from Astoria, OR to Bellingham, WA during May 2022. His boat was immaculate and extremely well run. He briefed me on the boat's safety equipment during my first night on board before we left port and we ran a number of man overboard drills immediately after leaving port. He set up a watch rotation that kept two people in the cockpit at all times and he was diligent about checking wind, weather, and tides. Tim has a great sense of humor, he's very skilled at route planning, and he's a joy to be around. I highly recommend serving with him if you can.

Sailing the Southern Dodecanese islands in good winds
Tim and I were two of the crew who joined a skipper (a friend of a friend) for this holiday. It was my first week of sailing after doing a Competent Crew course and I felt very unsure of my abilities. The skipper was good enough but it was Tim who built my confidence, lifted my spirits and really 'showed me the ropes'. He was calm under pressure (when the boat slipped its moorings) and was even able to laugh about it later! I have come to regard Tim as a good friend and mentor and I would not hesitate to sail with him again if we find ourselves on the same continent.
