About Me:

I have been retired four years now. I decided to take up sailing two years ago. I have finished all my requirement of sailing lesson with Sailtime in Chicago. I finish up a navagation course over the winter months. I have started another advance navagation course and will be finish this fall.. I have a great passion for sailing. I love sailing and I live to sail. I want more adventure to other places, and with different people.

Current location:

Algonquin, Illinois

Destinations visited:

I have sail in California which was first time I chartered sailboat by myself of a 26ft range after I finish my lessons. I have sailed out of most of the harbor in Chicago areas also to Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
I have sailed down the east coast of Florida to Fort Launderdale and across over to Bimibi, Nassau,and Georgetown.
During this time I lived aboard 33 foot Caliber for three months. This experience has taught me a lot more about sailing which I could not have obtained without owning a boat of my own. I have gain knowledge about mechanical, navagation, and more sailing experience which isn't bad for having two years experience.

Looking to:

I am looking forward to more travel south of Bahamas, Caribbeans, BVI, I want to travel up west coast of Florida along coast line over into Mexico. When will that happen who know but it will.
