It all begins with a dream. Maybe you just bought a boat. Maybe you need a little support to get to know your boat better with tight quarter maneuvering or docking/undocking into a new marina.

We love to see families and women on the water, whether at the helm, on deck or navigating. We want to make sure kids are safe and know proper protocol for boat safety We’re here to help set up systems for your cruising life. Or support you with private coaching sessions.

Over the last 6 years I’ve sailed with Myron and Marina and a few of their family members and crew on two Baja Jaja’s from San Diego to Cabo San Lucas across the Puerto Vallarta, once from San Diego to San Francisco, once from Cabo to Barra Navidad and we’re about to take Mykonos from Barra to Mazatlan.

Do you need to reposition your vessel? We can skipper domestically or crew internationally on deliveries and assist with receiving and (un)loading shipped vessels.

This is in Victoria, BC. The owners shipped their Catalna 36 from La Paz, Mexico to Victoria, Canada. After a 5 day 600NM diversion due to storms, it was about 40F when we picked her up. We weren’t sure if the engine would start since it was so cold. But we sailed that night, in the snow to make our timed crossing across San Juan de Fuca with the favorable tides into Seattle, her new home.

So you’re ready for your journey. Mostly. One of the most overlooked skills is provisioning for long haul journeys or recommissioning a boat after a long, cold winter. We have tried and true systems for provisioning, managing food storage, menu planning and general organization, including weight distribution of emergency equipment. You might hate spreadsheets, but we love them! We can consult in person or remotely.

This was on a double-hand journey from San Diego to Hawaii on an Ericsson 30. Mid-way, we found a leak so I took everything out to make sure no food was damaged. Pro Tip: plan your meals by week and store accordingly. Add 2 extra days worth of food for each week you’ll be at sea. Plan for the worst so the worst never happens.
