“With over 20 years of sailing and 50,000 nautical miles in my wake, my salty sea tales are built on serious blue-water credentials. I tackled the Northwest Passage in 2016, crossed the Atlantic twice, sailed through Bay of Biscay and the Mediterranean multiple times, cruised the Panama Canal, explored the Baltic, and island-hopped through the Caribbean.

For half the year, I’m skippering flotillas and charters in Greece as captain; the rest of the time, I’m teaching, delivering yachts, and chasing adventure.

Oh, and I logged over 5,000 nautical miles with Gregory.”
