Retired Navy SEAL, Have CSY44 and an assortment of day sailors
Working as trainer for military wet submersibles.(boats that are full of water while you drive them like a submarine)
I have made marriage and failed relationships somewhat of a hobby for the past 30 years but today I am married to an ex Navy fighter pilot and avid sailor babe.
I spend 3-8 months a year traveling to various parts of the world.
I work in the Florida Keys when in the US but have home in Virginia Beach VA
I have been working on and around the water for over 30 years and I have had the great fortune to be able to travel the world visiting some of the best waterfront destinations on earth.
Since 1976 I have lived in Hawaii, San Diego, Virginia Beach VA, Florida Keys, Puerto Rico and Subic Bay Philippines. I was born in Montana and lived briefly in Tacoma Washington before joining the Navy. I have a 100 Ton USCG license and have taught most maritime subjects since retiring from the Navy in 2000.
Current location:
Florida Keys
Destinations visited:
The entire free world and some places that aren't free yet!
Favorite places to visit are Helsinki and Key West.
Favorite place to vacation is anyplace where the beer is cold and the locals aren't shooting at you.
I have sailed, fished and dived everywhere I have lived and all over the world.
Looking to:
Talk to sailors meet new friends get some good advice and help anyway I can for those seeking advice.
I especially enjoy meeting other sailors while on the road that I have first met online.

I snaked cable off the rear of our E120 remote to monitor the e120 on our flat screen (cheap repeater). Purchased an electrician's snake to get the cable under the Deck table and deck.Was not an easy job!!

Mike, smart choice of equipment! It's really helpful when navigating between shipping lanes and staying away from barges and commercial traffic. But don't ever let it replace your eyes on the horizon as not every boat is broadcasting their position!
