Annapolis

Hi there, I retired from the Department of the Army working inside the Pentagon over the past 20 years in Jan 2025. I bought my Amel and my circumnavigation journey began in Mar 2025 with the intent of reaching New Zealand by around Jan 2027. I am a father of a successful son with two grandsons. I’ve never sailed, although I have taken ASA 101, 103 and 104…but with 10 years in the Infantry, 2 years in Afghanistan and a Mechanical Engineering degree, I’m confident in my experience and optimism
