Joaquin Diaz - SAILING TRAINING
Private Instructor - Miami, FL, USA

Captain J's father was a lobster fisherman. Even while fulfilling his mother's ambitions, that he become an architect, Captain J always kept a toe in the water. As the years passed Captain J's foot kept getting wetter. After finding a like-minded First Mate, Captain J sold the house, and moved to a sailboat, where the couple raised two children while island hopping the Caribbean.
At the children's request "we want to be normal", we returned to civilization (a misnomer).
