USCG MASTER 100T w/sail & towing & STCW & OUPV
I've been sailing since I was a young child. I owned an Alden Cheoy Lee ms (32) "Mystic" which I sailed around California, Gulf of Mexico, Bahamas & Caribbean. My commercial deck skills were initially honed back in the 70s while crewing on a four masted schooner (Fantome) in the Bahamas. Recently (June 2021- Aug 2023) I ran charters in the USVI - Searay 45 (pvt 12pax [6 mo]), a Gold Coast 53' sailing cat (head boat 49pax [1 yr] and a Jeanneau 54DS [2 mos].
I've sailed numerous vessels over the years in lots of waters, ie Micronesia, Australia, PNG, Baltic sea, Med & Caribbean. I have performed deliveries as both Captain (*) and Crew and am comfortable in either capacity.

I have know and sailed with Conde since I was 20 years old. He has taught me much about life and the sea. Recently we did a 1000 mile run together in a FP 42.... even now 24 years later I still learned something.
