Hello,I am Steve Rauch. I am a divorced 42 year old sailing nut from Hudson Beach Florida. I just recently relocated to Hudson Beach from Grand Haven Michigan.I am a carpenter by trade, but a sailor at heart. I've spent my entire life sailing on Lake Michigan, and it's tributary waters. It has been a long time dream of mine to become a boat captain. I have owned, sailed, and remodled several boats up in Michigan over the last 25 years. With my Great Lakes sailing experience, I now qualify for an inland captain's license. I moved down to Florida so I could log some nearshore and offshore sea time in order to qualify for an offshore master's license. I am available to crew for yacht deliveries, racing, charters, and recreational sailing. I am a non smoker, non drinker (but I love party people). I am exteremly knowledgeable about most aspects of sailboat maintainance. I am easy going and get along with most anyone. I do own a sailboat down here in Florida, a Pearson 26. It's a nice little weekender, and I hope to upgrade to a larger "live aboard" soon. My ultimate goal in life is to deliver sailing yachts world wide. I also enjoy kayaking, playing the harmonica, fishing on the shore or out to sea, and camping. Also, up in Michigan, I have a 13 year old step son from my previous marriage. His name is Connor. Connor comes down to Florida every other month for a week. He means the world to me, and he seems to be a "water rat", like myself, in the making. If you need crew for any sailing adventure, or if you just want to chat, you can e-mail me at windwardprop@yahoo.com and please take a moment to sign my guestbook here.
