* Born 1956 in
* Began sailing in 1974 and learnt the mysteries of free travel with a puff of wind pushing you along
* Maintained a keen interest in being afloat ever since
* Several career paths since that time in matters of business and trading this suited the needs of a family far better than being absent for long periods of time
* In the past year I have delivered boats across both the Atlantic and the Mediterranean
* RYA Offshore and Ocean certificates held
* I have experienced truly bad conditions out there and discovered how to deal with them (nice to know should push come to shove again)
* Always, I will go to extreme lengths through planning to avoid bad weather, but on occasions it is karma being prepared is the key
* I try to take great care to discover the ambitions of individual crewmembers and do my level best to see that they are realised
* At landfalls I am always keen to go out and explore you have just got to do it and hire cars can go in amazing places!
* More than happy to converse about everything under the sun the more diverse the discussions the better we all learn something new every day
* I hope never to lose sight of the objective to get where we are going all in one piece and try to enjoy and get as much from the experience as possible
