I don't know much at all about sailing but I think it's neat. I like to think I'm a fast learner and I'm good at following directions. If you need an extra set of hands I would be happy to make myself useful. I moved to the area a couple of years back and now I'm trying to find more ways of connecting with local folks.

Additional Information:

I moved up to the PNW to lend a hand on the Tally Ho project about 4 years ago and since then I've been involved in sailing as much as i possibly can. I can take direction, can pull the hell out of a rope, and can brew coffee or wash up--whatever you need I got it. I am forever grateful to anyone who will have me, and I always pay back favors.
