Since then, Peter has held almost every crew position on yachts around the world, eventually becoming a captain for the first time in 1989. Peter has worked extensively on boats in The United States, the Bahamas, the Caribbean and the Mediterranean as both Mate and Captain, and was 1st Officer on board a 190’ Feadship during a circumnavigation in
