Just to be upfront, my wife and I are cruising novices. The only sailing experience we have is 7 days of
ASA courses. We studied all the
ASA textbooks and passed the tests enabling us to
bareboat charter our own
catamaran. We also owned a 14' dingy for a season and did a fair amount of daysailing to practice the skills we learned in our ASA courses. Our plan was to
purchase a used
catamaran and start cruising about 3 years ago. Things didn't
work out as we planned but our dream of cruising is still alive. We just have to find another way to start getting sailing experience without owning our own
boat for now. My wife, Kinkani, and I are both a very fit, healthy living oriented and a no drama couple. We're vegetarians and we don't drink alcohol but don't mind if fellow cruisers indulge in both in moderation. We can not tolerate cigarette smoking, pot smoking and any drug use. We both like to be neat and organized and
work great as a team. Together we can quickly cook up an excellent, healthy meal. Over the years we've been on many different types of world traveling adventures. We've backpacked all over
California, trekked in the Himalayas, lived in a van in
New Zealand and have visited numerous countries around the world. Currently, we are based in
San Diego as Covid-19 has put our traveling plans on hold. We would really like to connect with a
boat owner that's interested in couple crew members that are energetic, enthusiastic and easy to get along with.
My wife and I are retired and are really interested in getting more sailing experience. We really want to learn everything we can about all aspects of sailing, from managing the
sails to planning a trip to maintaining the boat and it systems. Our goal is to get our own boat and
cruise for a few years. We are eager to learn and are used to situations most people our age would find uncomfortable. We both love being on the
water, out in nature and staying fit and healthy. I am an experienced handyman and a lifelong surfer, snowboarder mountain biker, hiker and fitness enthusiast. Kinkani is a great partner since she feels the same about fitness and
health, she ran 25 marathons and 7 ultra marathons. She's great at getting projects completed and is a great cook too!
