I'm an avid sailor with over 30 years on the water. My Sailing experience started 1975 in Marblehead on a Rhodes 19 and shortly moved on to an Ensenada 22 and an Erickson 29. Which I sailed extensively between Boston and the Cape Cod Islands. In 1980 I purchased a Mason 43 and charted on Nantucket (summers) and FL and the Bahamas (winters) for 10 years. Delivering the boat North & South each season. In 2004 I helped a friend and his wife deliver his Mason 44 to St Johns USVI.
Spring 05 I worked as crew (two months) on the Corwith Cramer, 134' brigantine from St Croix to Bermuda to Sable Is NS and back to it's home port of Woods Hole MA. This was a 4,000-mile passage with only two port stops. My duties included cooking, navigation & chart updates, and photography in conditions up to force 8-9. Seasickness is not a concern.
Fall 06 I helped deliver a Lavranos 49 during the Caribbean 1500. A thirteen day passage from Hampton Roads VA to Tortola BVI. My duties included boat handling, navigation and cooking. An additional week was spent cruising in the area prior to my departure.
Summer 07 Sailed my P30 around Cape Cod and the Islands.
January 08 crew on a Farr 68 in St. John U.S.V.I.
Febuary/March 08 worked in Phuket, Thailand helping a friend build a 51' aluminun catamaran. Wired the vessels complete DC & AC electrical system and electronic instruments.
Summer 08 Lots of time on my P30 and a friend's Sarendipity 43 around the Cape and Islands. Cruised R/T from Newport RI to Maine on a Lepoard 40 cat.
