GPS, radar, chart plotter — nothing; we just had a working VHF radio. My teacher was Anna Wolf, known for the longest sail by a woman without aid of electronics. She taught me celestial navigation, which I used to chart the way to Flores, an island in the Azores. We used long math and no computers for the site reductions. What is the one thing that everyone should do or see in Miami Beach? Visit the famous “South Beach.” I recommend going on a quiet day in the middle of the week when it’s not too busy to experience the area’s true beauty. What are your greatest achievements at Sunset Harbour? When I first started at Sunset Harbour I set three goals: To lease out the entire marina (we went from 70% to full occupancy within three years); complete a much-needed renovation of the entire site (we built a new gym and clubhouse, and added
restaurants, but I am a fan of Italian food, so my pick would be Sardinia Ristorante located less than a mile from the marina. Describe yourself in three words. Project Manager Junkie If you didn’t work at a marina, what would be your dream job? If I couldn’t be in this industry, I would go back to what I did before, working as a private estate owners’ agent.This way I can be challenged by many aspects of the projects from building the estates to working with their valuable art and antiquity collections. What is your favorite memory on a boat? My favorite memories include spending Fourth of July holidays with my dad, and a wonderful experience sailing across the Atlantic, learning true blue water sailing and celestial navigation.This boat had no
a million-dollar pool renovation, new fixed docks, electrical service, and new landscaping to create a lush tropical atmosphere); and enhance equity membership slips, which I completed last summer. m l
