About us

This site is written by sailor and biologist, Kevin Curran. I didn't grow up sailing but got hooked while finishing up school at the University of Washington in Seattle. The UW has a great sailing program. For very little money, you can advance from beginner to an over confident intermediate sailor quite quickly. In no time at all, I found myself out crossing the Puget Sound on rickety old keelboats and learning to drop anchor near Blake Island.

Anyway, that was a long time ago. I eventually transitioned from an over confident intermediate sailor into the delusional advanced stage. With that transition comes the inevitable adventure up the Inside Passage to Alaska. 

Then after many dark and stormy winters in Seattle, the lure of the sub-tropics became strong. I packed up my Newport 30 and headed to San Diego. This is where I reside today. I try to keep the pleasant climate from making me soft. I try to get into the Channel Islands as much as possible. And I try to keep up with this site as best as possible.

Any questions? You can find me at kevincurranuw@gmail.com
