         SUMMARY OF EXPERIENCE

         Skipper, Kia Orana

         5/00 to Current, Catalina 36

         Sailing and cruising on San Francisco Bay and California Pacific
         coastal waters.  Experienced in passagemaking strategies, weather,
         navigation, mechanics, seamanship, clogged heads, bloody knuckles,
         cooking at an angle, night-time ship-dodging, mechanical improv,
         and sleep deprivation.

         Delivery Crew, Final Approach

         10/99, Lidgard 60

         Bashing a pedigreed ocean racer up the California coast never gave
         a hint of the speed and power that is Final Approach.

         Coastal Cup Crew, La Adriana

         7/99, Perry 47

         A whale of a time!  Brought the Beer Babes for this trip.
         Wind died on second day.  Diverted to Monterey and had a
         blast.

         Pacific Cup Crew, La Adriana

         1/98 to 7/98, Perry 47

         Helped prepare boat for 2-week sail from San Francisco to
         Oahu, Hawaii.  Made several SF Bay and offshore shakedown
         cruises due to the fact that we were always late to the
         starting line.  Served as Safety Officer after reaching the
         Pacific Cup starting line on time.  Almost lost anchor (had
         a nice bruise to show), almost lost prop shaft, but lost no
         crew in the 13-day crossing.
        
         Coastal Cup Crew, Pincoya

         7/97, Kaiser 38

         First reaction: What am I doing?
         Final conclusion: Most fun I'd ever had on a boat! 

         Skipper, Invictus
         
         7/92 to 5/00, Catalina 27,

         8/83 to 7/92, Hunter 25, fin-keel
         sloop
         
         Spent considerable time doing
         things that were supposed to be impossible in a keelboat
         (such as circumnavigating Bair Island) because we didn't
         know any better. Developed home grown sailing vocabulary to
         compensate for lack of training. Invented the dry man
         overboard drill. Refined the ability to place empty rum
         bottles on channel markers. Experienced in several effective
         kedging methods.

         Extensive sailing in San Francisco
         Bay. Considerable practice in righting principles. Developed
         the ability to hike out without swinging around the forestay
         when pounding into the South Bay chop. Often came close to
         freezing to death.

         Learned to navigate sloughs
         without getting stuck. Would row several miles upwind and
         sail back downwind using the oars as a mast and an Indian
         bed spread as a sail.  One of the smallest vessels on The
         Bay!
