I have a rare opportunity to pass along, at least, some of the knowledge acquired over the 50+ years I have been sailing. And no matter how healthy we are now, or how long we want to stay in the industry, the clock is ticking. If you don’t step up to the plate RIGHT NOW, all that knowledge we possess will just blow away in the wind. Something to think about." - Captain Dennis H.
