About me

Occupation Tim: Physicist in the Defense Industry Susan: Business Analyst in the Telecommunications Industry
Location Dillon Colorado, USA
Introduction Tim has been sailing since he was 6 years old in the San Francisco Bay area. At 16, he bought a Laser that he raced and placed first several times. After college, sailing was put aside to do some mountaineering, rock climbing & ice climbing which included Alpamayo in Peru, Nepal, Mooses tooth in Alaska, Matahorn in Switzerland, Mt.Blanc in France and Mt.Logan in Canada. Tim climbed all the 14ers in Colorado, several alone. Tim also biked across America unsupported, and paraglided for several years. I travelled to countries such as India, Italy, East Germany, Japan, Philippines, Denmark, Hungary, Austria....During my 20s, I Skydived at the Winchester drop zone in Canada and obtained my Advanced Scuba diving certification. I moved from Montreal to Colorado in 1995 to enjoy the great telemark and backcountry skiing. There, I learned how to rock & ice climb and hiked several peaks. I enjoyed rock climbing in Gorge Du Verdon France and in Peru. When we met, we climbed together in the Tetons & Nepal to mention of few places. Since we live near Lake Dillon, we decided to sail together and joined the Dillon Yatch club in Colorado to race most week-ends in the summer.
Interests We have been racing a J22, J29 & Etchells on Lake Dillon in Colorado for several years. Tim sailed the Pacific from Hawaii to San Francisco and both Tim & Susan sailed from San Diego to Cabo San Lucas. We also chartered sailboats in many places in the Caribbean.
