I am a sailor, born of a nautical tradition passed to me by my father and my Grandfather Alfred. I’ve spent most of life on my passion which is the sea and the vessels which go upon them. I have had many such vessels and now I live on and sail on the sloop WINGS. which I acquired in 1986 with my wife Judy who shared my passion. For ten years we lived on Wings in Seattle and sailed, including racing. Then we left the Pacific Northwest and voyaged across the world, across the seven seas, to faraway places, and made them our own. For thirty-eight years I have lived and loved this life. I still live on Wings, in Mexico, and sail and race often. Judy passed away in June, 2023 and I miss her but you can still join us and sail the seas as we did for all those glorious years.

I (barely) remember you two in Seattle..Lockhaven or more likely Shilshole.
Your decades on a flush deck boat must be unique in the long term cruising world.
Tempted to get a boat with a view from below?

Yeah, well not really tempted to change boats but we miss the view. When something is going on around us we have to pop up out of the hatch to see what it is. And we are often surprised in a marina when we come up and the boat next to us is gone, we didn't even see it go.
On the other hand, nobody sees in either, and we spend a lot of time out doors, where the view is fine.
Flat decks make for wonderful mobility when sailing. It's one of the big reasons why this boat is so easy to sail; you can do anything on deck without fighting your way around cabin tops, fuel tanks, etc.
