Author: George

I recently retired after 20 years as a financial advisor and CFP in Sandusky, Ohio, but previous to that, owned Steinemann & Co, sales agent for Nautor's Swan yachts in Newport Beach, California for 18 years. After 3 years of racing and cruising my Swan 44 on the Great Lakes, I trucked it to California, from which my son Travis and I will sail it back to the Great Lakes via the South Pacific, Torres Strait, South Africa, and the Caribbean, where we will race in Antigua Sailing Week April, 2020
