Been sailing since 1987, bought a Freedom 30 and sailed her out of Belmar NJ. Had the opportunity to sail up and down the NJ coastline and up around Manhattan on a regular basis. Unfortunately, corporate life moved me inland in the early 90's and had to sell my boat. In '97, was moved out to So Cal and joined Aventura in 2000. Moved inland again in 2006 and after several years and 4 daughters, finally able to re-join Aventura and get back on the water this past Summer!
