I am a licensed and experienced captain looking for challenging offshore sailing opportunities to learn from and accumulate sea service days.
I am a US Coast Guard licensed captain, an advanced sailing instructor at Narragansett Sailing School and an experienced offshore racing watch captain/navigator. I own Counterpoint, a Bristol 45.5 and have lived aboard a few months at a time. I’m a hard working, strong, 40 year old drug free social drinker and an omnivore. I’m not the best chef but I can prepare meals in conditions that have many other chefs hiding out topsides.
