My wife and I live in Julington Creek Plantation in St Johns County. We both turn 50 this year. We love the
water and own an 18 foot center console
boat. I have sailing experience from taking sailing
classes in the
Navy and
renting from the
Navy bases. My wife has no formal
training but has done some sailing with me. I retired from the Navy as a pilot and now
work for
Delta Air Lines. My experience has been with small sail boats and a 24 ft
Hunter that I sailed while stationed in Guantanamo Bay,
Cuba. We would like to try our hand at sailing larger boats. I know there is a lot to learn about larger vessels but look forward to the challenge. We are hoping this adventure can one day have us owning a
live-aboard to enjoy once our youngest is out of the house in 4 years. I am not afraid to get my hands dirty. I like doing my own
maintenance whether it’s my
boat,
trailer or cars.
We would really like the opportunity to sail with some locals in the
Jacksonville area. My wife is super laid-back and I am of course am A-type personality who can also follow the Captain’s orders with a smile on my face.
We look forward to seeing you on the
water one day.
Jay and Gina
