About Me
- SkipperRoy
- St Petersburg, Florida, United States
- In 1987 I left my yuppy lifestyle to go sailing for a year, maybe two. Over ten years later I was still at it, making my living as a Coast Guard licensed professional boatbum. I ran boats as far north as Maine and south to Venezuela. But most of the time, I was driving charter boats among the islands of the Caribbean. By 2000 I thought I'd had enough. I washed ashore in Portland, Oregon to work with my pal Gary at home remodeling. But even there, I continued to mess around on boats - on the Columbia River, Pacific Ocean, the Strait of Georgia and the Puget Sound. Now married to Cathy, a NOAA Branch Chief, I've followed her to St Petersburg, Florida where she is on a six month assignment to help with the BP oil catastrophe. In this blog I will talk about my experience of St Petersburg, of living with a lifelong environmental protection professional in the midst of the nation’s largest ever ecological disaster, and of my quest to continue messing around in boats.
