User:Chuckhawley

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

My name is Chuck Hawley and I live in Santa Cruz, CA. I am an active boater, and most of my postings are likely to be related to boating or sailing or boating safety. I have worked in the marine industry for about 25 years. In that capacity, I wrote most of the "West Advisor" articles that appear in the older West Marine catalogs. I also lecture on boating safety, and I am a US Sailing Safety at Sea Moderator for safety seminars.

Many years ago, I earned a Commercial and Flight Instructor certificate for gliders, and instructed for a few years in Southern California. Therefore, I have also submitted some edits in the Gliding and Soaring pages.

I wrote an entry on Fallen Leaf Lake, California, where I have spent many enjoyable summers.

My wife Susan and I have also had a Foster Home for infants for about 10 years. Not sure if I will weigh in on that topic, though.
