I am an organizer for a festival called Salt Assault. It is a free event that aims to bring together sea gypsies, travelers, old salts, and sea fanatics from all over the world to share their knowledge and experience with any and all who would like to learn about sailing and a life at sea.

My boat, the s/v Gnarwind, is an offshoot project of Salt Assault. We stay behind in Rio Dulce to continue the event for people who want a more in depth learning experience, or who couldn't make it to the festival in time.

If you want to stay with us, please state in your couch request that you are interested in learning about sailing and/or boat-life, and willing to participate in the Gnarwind project.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Music, Movies, and Books

"Late night mob action advances on the thrift store donation bin, long bike rides through the industrial ghetto, shopping cart races, and competitions to see just how many times we could make the "Police Blotter" column of the local paper. We left behind the other kids, their path -working, drinking, and being grown up- and rejected all that made them grumpy, uncreative, and lifeless. We dumpstered, squatted, and shoplifted our lives back. Everything fell into place when we decided our lives were to be lived. Life serves the risk taker." -Evasion
