My sailing journey began on an Optimist at the tender age of 6 in Road Harbour. For the next decade, we (my fellow sailors and I) competed in a dozen regattas every year. Over the years, more than a dozen sailing instructors volunteered and poured into us to ensure that we would have the opportunity to become professional sailors. Our last regatta boat was a IC24 (a modified J/24). I continue to enjoy living on Tortola and working as a private instructor at any charter company in The British Virgin Islands - The Sailing Capital of the World. I love nurturing new sailors and the nautical lifestyle.
