Patti learned boating as an adult and has been hooked on it ever since, holding a Coast Guard 100 Ton Masters license for 30 years. She has lived aboard sail and powerboats and cruised extensively, including trans- Atlantic and a year in the Mediterranean as captain on a 60 foot trawler. Sharing her knowledge with other women in the teaching environment of SEA SENSE lets her have the best of all worlds – doing something she loves on a boat on the water! Her personal philosophy is, “Do what you love, love what you do!”
