Hello Sailors! I'm a 50-something female, happily married and have lived in Colorado for 25+ years after growing up and attending college in the DC area. I'm a Marketing professional in the Financial Services industry. I'm here to meet like-minded individuals who enjoy sailing vacations. My husband and I are doing our first trip to BVI this December and I want to start sailing more often. It can be tough to find people with whom we can share boat charters, so that's one reason why I'm here - to see if anyone wants to share a charter at some point. (Bare-boat or with hired Captain.)
So my very first memories are of sailing in Puerto Rico. My dad was a U.S. Navy officer and we lived there when I was 4-5 years old. We used to sail over to Vieques every weekend to play and picnic on the beaches there. Then when I was ages 7-13 I attended camp in Maine where we learned our knots and how to sail, but I forgot MUCH of what learned. I really need to take a course here in Colorado.. YES there are sailing schools here, believe it or not. ;)

I caught the bug again on a recent trip to St. Maarten were we did a 7-hour catamaran trip around the island.
I know they're hard to come by these days, but I prefer monohulls and LOVE heeling. My friends think I'm weird for that. ;)

Cost for a cabin is $3k + provisions that we will all buy and split the bill. Message me and we can have a…
