At 12 I was 'adopted' by the crew of The Northern Light: the 1938 12 meter US14. I raced and cruised on the boat until I was 19; the high point each summer being the famous Chicago to Mackinac race. For six years I worked the waters of Alaska from Prince William Sound to the top of the Bearing Sea as a commercial fisherman. I chose to settle down in Portland, Or. and was very happily surprised to discover the amazing sailing on the Columbia! I joined ISC right away and began racing avidly and working and teaching at the club. I am now the proud owner of the club as of February 2020 which allows me the pleasure of sharing this amazing world of sailing with the many wonderful students who, like me, "have been called by the sea..."
