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.

We started the cruise off with a rain storm, and the guests had dinner and played cards in the salon. Motor sell out the pass and to the east towards Henderson Beach. By the time we reached Henderson Beach. We had enough wind to Sale and made our turn to Sale back to the pass. Once inside the past, we set up for fireworks and enjoy a beautiful show.
