TRAVEL:         As a generally adventurous person I’ve had the opportunity to

travel quite a bit, and have spent time all over the United States, as well as in Baja Mexico, Canada, Alaska, France, Australia and Panama. I’ve sailed to Hawaii from San Diego, California and have spent approximately 15 years sailing in the Bahamas on an annual basis as well as our local Southwest Florida waters.
