Howdy!

I see you have quite the crew list and have added my name; I wanted to introduce myself. I am looking to become regular crew on a boat, preferably in San Francisco. It looks like I just missed J-Fest.

I was quite active in the sailing community in Texas, and recently moved to the bay area in December. I mainly crewed on J/24s (jib trim and foredeck, some spin trimming) every weekend for the last 8 years, both circuit and club sailing, but did do a week-long regatta in Millennium Express (Express 37) in Galveston Bay, which is originally from the Bay Area, some of you may remember her.

Before I moved here from Texas, I spent about 18 months restoring a 1974 Dufour 31 with my best friend and entering it in the Harvest Moon offshore regatta in 2014, we came in 2nd in our class. I've done perhaps 15 offshore regattas overall. I'm looking to purchase a boat out here sometime in the next year, but I'm eager to get involved in the sailing community here in the bay area!

Thanks
