Summary
 Started sailing in 1974 at the age of 11. Have sailed
(race and/or cruise) in Puerto Rico, Spanish, US & British Virgin Islands, St
Martin, St Barths, Antigua, Key
West, Tampa Bay, Gulf Of Mexico, Long Island Sound (CT,NY,RI), Cape Cod, and Block Island over the last

to a Custom Bill Tripp 60' mono hull, and a 45' Leopard Catamaran and can perform any position from
foredeck to skipper.
From 1995 to 2004 I sailed/raced around Tampa Bay and
the Gulf of Mexico at least once a week for over 40 weeks per year, on
various boats but mainly
as crew of a J/109 (35') named Mariah.
Since 2004 I live, sail
and race in Puerto Rico where I cruise with my family aboard our Hunter
376 ˇNada Mas! and also crew often on a Jeanneau SO 52,
a Hunter 41 and a Beneteau
305.
