Experienced recreational cruiser (5,000 miles), captained my 30' sailboat (often singlehanded) roundtrip Martha's Vineyard to Charleston, SC, and up-and-down East Coast USA. Annapolis home port. 1st mate San Francisco to Cabo san Luca, Porto to Lagos. Ohau to Molokai. Have sailed the Marion to Bermuda race. Solid skills at many systems repairs (12V electrical, diesel, fuel, fresh water, etc (but not rigging). Accomplished home "chef" (Zagat 26 level skills). Singer-songwriter-guitarist. No major racing experience, but physically fit and a quick learner. A long-time friend is a member at Kaneohe Yacht club, which won't get us bupkiss, except maybe a few free celebration drinks! :-)
