"I love the sight of losing land over the horizon."
I first started working on tall ships because I was tired of yachty assholes
It was quite fulfilling
The biggest challenge was perfecting varnishing
I overcame it by sanding, sanding and more sanding
Relationships onboard are an interesting predicament
Regarding relationships, I tend to keep them on shore
My worst habit is listening to 2pac in the galley
Someday I hope to own my own sail training vessel and sail around the world as many times i can
I am happiest when I'm sitting on bow watch and the sun is rising over the ocean

Flight or invisibility? both are pretty sketch
What is the biggest misconception about working on tall ships? how hard we work!
Cats or dogs? I have a great pup hanging out at my house
Would you rather be in a storm at sea or a public open house in port? storm at sea
Favorite port of call? Halifax, NS. Good drinks and music. Check out The Old Triangle
