I have been teaching sailing for 30 years to children and adults on the Chesapeake Bay and Puget Sound.  I’ve cruised from
the South Sound up through the San Juan and Gulf Islands to Princess Louisa Inlet and Desolation Sound.  I geared up and
skippered my own boat from Seattle to Hawaii and back for my first offshore passage in 2006.  I also teach at the Wooden
Boat Foundation in Port Townsend and the NWSA's "Take the Helm" women's sailing conference.
