Born and raised in France. Career in secondary education working for LA City Schools. Retired 10 years ago, re-inventing myself as a sailor, to sail my boat from LA on what was to be a world circumnavigation. This cruise ended in Western Australia. Back in Los Angeles I have lived on my boat since then, racing and doing some light cruising. As someone who caught the Baja bug long ago, I have combined my life-long love for all things Mexican and my need to live on the ocean by purchasing a waterfont condo in Rosarito. I am commuting until I relocate there this coming Summer Activities besides sailing: time with the 3 grand children, chess, traveling, writing, networking. Of late I have developed a mild addiction to cruise ship traveling, the kind that visits unusual destinations.
