Skipper D Adventures

Sailing, seamanship, and the road to a captain's license

I'm Darren, a sailor based in Atlanta, Georgia. I sail a 14-foot Com-Pac Picnic Cat named Bluebell, mostly on Lake Lanier, with my wife and our dog as crew.

I'm logging sea days toward a USCG OUPV captain's license and documenting trips, rally prep, and how-to topics like knots, docking, and sail trim.

The full site, with trip reports, photos, and my sailing resume, is being rebuilt and will be back soon.
