Sailing Sailing is one of my life's passion ranking just behind my partner Nancy and my kids and grandson (actually, he's it!). I began as a kid sailing a Sabot in Marina Del Rey California. This was the beginning of a love affair that has never ended. I've sailed most of the great oceans of the world and have cruised and raced extensively in the Pacific, the Sea of Japan, the South China Sea, the Atlantic, the Adriatic, the Caribbean and of course the Pacific. My yacht racing career includes San Diego to Manzanillo International Yacht Race, the SORC, The Clipper Cup, Admirals Cup Trials, The San Francisco Big Boat Series, Long Beach Race Week, The Lipton Cup and many more. During May of 2005 Maurice joined the crew of the 134-foot steel brigantine the Robert C. Seamans on its 18-day return trip from Honolulu Hawaii to Tacoma Washington. This was an opportunity for me to refine my seagoing, boat handling, navigation and even my seagoing cooking skills in that it gave me another opportunity to cook for a large crew, something I really enjoy doing. Read about the trip here: 2,600 nautical miles in twelve days Maurice continues his active participation in sailing, currently sailing a C&C Landfall 43 Ketch around Beanderas Bay and as a crew member on open ocean races and regattas. Do you need crew? I'm always ready. Always. Please contact me (maurice.bretzfield(at)gmail.com. I have cruised extensively including the entire west coast of the U.S. from Washington to California. I know Mexican waters well and have done deliveries from Newport Beach California to La Paz, Mexico. I know Banderas Bay and the waters around Cabo San Lucas. I have also cruised the Caribbean extensively including the British Virgin Islands, Antigua & Barbuda, St. Martin, St. Barts, Saba, St. Kitts & Nevis, Guadeloupe, Marie Galante, Dominica, St. Vincent and the Grenadines. I sailed on the barque Europa from Nova Scotia to Boston. I can handle just about whatever crew position you need filled although I probably don't belong on a fore-deck anymore! But I sure can cook! I'm happy to cook for large crews on offshore races, actually that's the position that I prefer at this point. I'd love to put together a custom menu for you for your next race. I promise you a happy crew! I'm currently on the ground in Nuevo Vallarta. I am available to provide ground support while you are here sailing in the 2010 San Diego to Puerto Vallarta race or the 2010 Mexorc. Contact me (maurice.bretzfield(at)gmail.com) and we'll support all of your needs while you are here. |
