We have sailing in common too. I'm a graduate of California Maritime Academy with a USCG Unlimited Tonnage Open Ocean license, but prior to ships I had a Cal 40 that I single handed from Long Beach to Muluge, Mexico. Old, fast ex race boat that I outfitted for cruising.
This was my last "office" before I retired.

Both pictures taken with the then new Sony digital camera circa 2000, when file sizes were about 25 kb, and storage was on a 1.44 mb floppy.
