I grew up lake sailing and in my 20’s began open water sailing on small boats up to 35’. I became a captain in 2022 and work doing sailing charges on a 45’ Beneteau. I’m building y resume and experience as a delivery captain in the off season.

Cruise with friends Took the Wilson’s (Jeff and Carol) and the Brister family for a two hour charter that turned into a 2.5 hour.

Wind was great till we made our turn and then it shifted to the north and died. We motored most of the way back.
