About Me

My wife LeeAnne and I did a lot of sailing aboard our 30' Catalina in the 1980s. We sold our beloved Cat 30 after our second child was born and vowed to get back into sailing after the kids got older. Our kids are out of high-school now so we decided to take the plunge again and get back into sailing. We started off with Julianne, at custom 27' sloop. We enjoyed sailing so much that in 2009, we upgraded to Spray, an Islander Freeport 36.

It was great to be greeted at the docks by friends, family, and our excellent Transpac hosts who provided food and drinks. A special thanks to Sara for bringing me a pair of shoes and providing the entire crew with beautiful Hawaiian shirts! The Waikiki Yacht Club took great care of us. The CIYC burgee is flying proudly in the center of their lounge.

During the Transpac awards ceremony this evening, Phil Sauer and the crew of Second Chance were presented a special award from the Rear Admiral of the US Coast Guard for our efforts in the rescue at sea. We got a hearty applause from the entire Transpac audience which felt wonderful!
