Sailing Experience:

I started sailing in Saskatchewan on Diefenbaker Lake in an 18 footer in the early 1980’s. Since acquiring certification in 1991
I have chartered various vessels on the West Coast for a total of 31 days and have been navigator and crew for an additional 32 days. I acquired the 1982 - 30’ Catalina “Jadeo” ( Spanish for Warm Breezes) on November 07/04 and since then have been sailing the Gulf Islands, Georgia Strait, Sunshine Coast and Desolation Sound.
