Everywhere

Private Captain (charter and delivery), and Instructor aboard sailing vessels of all sizes from 7m to 40m in length in all bodies of water. I've sailed multiple times across oceans and seas, working my way up from simple crew and chef who knew nothing about yachts to becoming a well-rounded and experienced blue-water and coastal sailor. I hold several basic and instructor certifications with NauticEd, RYA, and ASA. Despite all this, I'm constantly learning and enjoy being out on the waters paying it forward to everyone who wants to be a part of such a wonderful world. 🤩

Engine Dies Immediately Before Docking 💀

Know Thy Sail

Engine died before we even got to the dock for fueling. One shot to throw a midship line at the piling and hard stop the boat before colliding into another. Our skills as sailors are always tested. Called the marina office and got a tech team out at the boat in 11 minutes. Cisco and I put our brains together to try to figure out why our engine was not happy and go figure it was a hissing sound that we both heard that landed us to the problem: battery was overcharging and swelling. New battery was put in instantly and systems checked for proper charging. Except for a bow thruster that won't work, all systems go? Please? 🙏🏻
