This is my third full season sailing. Started with a Com-Pac16 then a CP-19 and now I'm sailing a 1985 Seaward 22 by the name of Panacea. I've taken the ASA Basic Keelboat and Basic Coastal Cruising classes. Looking next to take the Nav course then onto the Bareboat Charter.
In the mean time I'll be out sailing as much as I can.
Current location:
New Jersey
Destinations visited:
Nassau, Bahamas twice via the Disney Cruise Line, as well as Castaway Cay located near Great Abaco Island.
Looking to:
