Greetings!
After taking a few months off during the height of the pandemic, I am booking jobs again beginning mid February.
Covid-Since I am over 65 and reside in
Florida I have had my first dose of Morderna and will be fully inoculated in early February. Depending on the
delivery, it may be prudent for owners and crew get a rapid test. The worst thing to happen is to be in the middle of nowhere and have someone with serious symptoms.
Qualifications- I am a 100 Ton USCG Master, Sailing Endorsement,
ASA Instructor and am a contributing author to Practical Sailor, having had 5 articles published. As Master, I have delivered
boats from
Panama to Boston to
Gibraltar, as well as many, many
ports in-between on vessels ranging from a PSC Flicka to a 50’
Saba.
About your delivery- Underway, the
safety of the crew and vessel are always the #1 priority. We rig jack lines before departing and most nights the watch-keeper is required to clip in. Owners are always welcome to crew their deliveries. Once we reach our
destination, additional
training can be arranged.
For
offshore deliveries I carry an
Iridium GO and download
weather twice a day. This information is ported to routing
software that uses your vessels sailing and motoring polars to
route your vessel as safely and efficiently as possible.
All deliveries can be tracked through my
Garmin inReach. If you are not aboard, you always know where your vessel is!
How to learn more- Please contact me through my profile, a link to my website appears there also. Feel free to check my website and some of my posts here to understand a little more about me.
