About half of those were multihulls. They have cruised and boated all over WA, CA, TX, and in the Caribbean, Great Lakes, New England, FL ICW, the Gulf, Sea of Cortez, the English Channel, and the Greek Islands.

Sandy retired from 34 years as a Hydrologist with the US Geological Survey in 2010. He managed scientist teams studying regional water problems in California, the Gulf Coast, and Washington. He spent the last 13 years managing a national team that produced the top hit for over 10 years on a Google search for 'water quality data'.

Sandy’s love for boats and entrepreneurial spirit lead him to shift careers and start his own business selling boats in 2005. Sandy has closed over 350 boat transactions. He has taught Geology at University of Washington Tacoma. Sandy loves to teach and see people expand their horizons. Remember the old adage that if you want to get something done, ask a busy person.

We work smarter and harder for you.
