The Crew

The crew of Talos IV is the husband / wife team of Paul and Janet. We both learned to sail on the San Francisco Bay at Tradewinds Sailing School and Club. Over a period of about five years, we both have completed the various ASA classes through and including Advanced Coastal Cruising. Paul has gone on and has become a Sailing Instructor with certifications in Basic Keel Boat, Basic Coastal Cruising, Bareboat Charter and Coastal Navigation. Paul has taught a number of BKB classes at Tradewinds and is in the process of completing his USCG OUPV Captains License.

Paul is currently retired at the ripe old age of 55 from Toyota Motor Sales, after a 33 year long career. Moving forward, he will likely do some sail boat instruction as time permits, but will focus primarily on the many planned adventures of Talos IV.

Janet is also retired from a Nursing career that included public nursing in Portland, Oregon and an Allergy and Asthma Clinic in Northern California, as well as several other nursing jobs over the years. Prior to retiring, she was able to get certified as a Pollen and Mold counter, which she has now turned into a small business with three clients form California. The business will develop as she has time and desire to pursue it.
