Water World

The water realm nurtures me. The assignments that put me out in the marine environment satisfy my basic need Ito be on the water. The source of all life, mother ocean calls me, coming back to feel her power every chance I can. When time and weather allows my love of the water and sailing puts me in my favorite place.
