Feedback: "Richard helped me get my 48' Albin motor yacht to Kodiak, AK, and skippered one of my first charter trips there before I got my own captain's license. His navigational and boat handling skills are solid, and he is helpful, knowledgeable, and a pleasure to spend time with; I'd recommend him to anyone.”
