average pleasure craft to large sailing vessels and up to 90 ft.,

8 ft seas and 40 kt. winds.

I live and work in Dixon, Illinois from September to October

I acquired my sea time for the "Near Coastal" License on the west
coast of Florida. (720 Days ).
I am an experienced professional delivery Captain from Lake Michigan,
The Illinois Waterway, Kentucky Lakes, Tenn-Tom Waterway and

and motor yachts from the panhandle, across the famous Florida
Middle Ground to Florida's west coast and to the east coast. I have
owned and operated my own water taxi service and small craft towing

and numerous publications and Boat Fax for current market conditions.
