Helped deliver a cal 27 from olympia to tacoma. The weather was okay with some rain showers, and we had to change the racor filter towards the end of the trip.

35 miles and did it in 8 hrs, taking tide and current into account.

S/V Windy

Posted on 06/27/2025 by 56yachtcapt67

Spent about two months training and trying to be a captain on this four masted schooner in Chicago.

Due to financials they had to let me go, business was down almost 75% from last spring. Enjoyed my time getting to know the crew and the boat, and with my daughter Sydney.

Charter captain who works on boats

Posted on 05/09/2025 by 56yachtcapt67

I spent the last two months working on this catalina 38 out in Cascade Locks, OR. She is a 6 pac charter boat.

Fixed the engine and had to replace the forestay due to halyard wrap damage up at the top.

She is a good boat with good bones, and I recommended some upgrades like clutches and winches on the mast. Also helped north sails oregon install the stack pack and lazy jacks for the main sail.
