Northern Breezes Gift & Greeting Card

Business Description

I am a retired U.S. Navy Officer who came through the enlisted ranks first. I went from Chief Petty Officer, a position of almost universal respect, to the bottom of the officer ranks as an Ensign. I purposely chose a wooden Mine Sweeper as my first ship so that I could get a lot of Officer of the Deck drive time. This is where I really learned to drive ships. I was a sailboat sailor from my early days as an enlisted guy. I loved combining the wind with the sea and became a sailing instructor on various naval bases. This background gave me the confidence to start a sailing school a few years after I retired from active duty. Now, I can share my passion for the sea and sailing with numerous students and graduates in all kinds of fun, challenging locales and environments. I organized and sailed a North Atlantic Crossing on a 40' Pacific Seacraft, have raced in many offshore races, who knows precisely what is next? . . . follow your dreams while you have the health to do it!
