Interests
I have taken disabled people sailing. I am usually training or giving sailing experience to women sailors, because there are too many abusive & narcissistic male skippers in the Sailing community. I do provide safe "alcohol free" and "yelling free" sailing environments.

Music, Movies, and Books
Harp Flute , Folk, Irish, good Old Rock n Roll, blues, SWING DANCE
I Don't watch movies, they are too often creating "the Spectacle Mentality" that robs society of creativity, critical thinking, & Free Will.. And movies give too many lessons on being violent.
To be onLine and Zoom is causing loneliness and many kinds of harm . To have been abused or spanked as a child, lectured and blamed creates a Multi-Personality adult. In the sailing on the bigger sailboats a connection and healing can be formed - as long as there is no blaming and no yelling. So the ability to heal traumas and create Mental Health is the normal human social life. On Screen find: https://www.livewithacl.org/what-we-do/
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Motorcycle across Canada, and the Astraea Cetal in Chilli and up through Argentina.
Been around Cape Horn & Falkland Isles ( in the small Cruise ship )
Sailboat in winter during the Pandemic, with atmospheric Rivers blasting floods, roads washed out, up From Vancouver to Prince Rupert. ( Carib and the Med are very relaxing. Good swimming but HAVE NO SEA LIFE ! The Pacific NW is the last place on the planet with a natural healthy ocean, BTW.
But hey, looking for more fun? Try it in Hurricanes. )
