In May and June 2006, I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to serve as paid crew, helping deliver a 106' luxury yacht "NAOS" from St. Maartin in the Caribbean to Palma de Mallorca, an island in the Mediterranean off of Spain. Here is a brief journal of that journey.
In late October 2001, I helped deliver a 67' Challenge Ocean Racing yacht across the Atlantic, from Boston to Plymouth, England.
It was a cold and wet trip, but grand fun. Here is the story.

Again, I had an amazing opportunity to crew the yacht "AXIA" in a fairly famous race in St. Barth's, a posh island in the Caribbean - "The St. Barth's Bucket" race. Prior to the race, I helped deliver the yacht to the Caribbean from the Mediterranean. Click photo for story.
In 2015, I helped a friend, Dawn Westrum, compete in the Red Bull X-Alps, a 600 mile paraglider / adventure race across the tops of the Alps. This is a chapter I wrote for her book - "Racing to the Sky: One Woman's Extreme Adventure in the 2015 Red Bull X-Alps"
Sailed on a 67' steel-hulled Challenge yacht to the Polar Ice Cap via Spitzbergen, norty of Norway, some of the northernmost islands on the planet. See photos on Adventure Photos page.
