Teresa learned to sail scows on her grandfather's knee and has been sailing all boats in all weathers since. Teresa crews on Eclipse in the MBWSO Monday night racing series and has learned to gybe a pole and not fall off the boat, as well as skippering/crewing in the Milwaukee Community Sailing Center (MCSC) Sunday morning series. She currently sails a Sunfish, a Butterfly, and an old Capri 13 on Lake Michigan when she isn't chartering on Lake Superior or in the BVI. After joining the MCSC nine years ago she began sailing the loveable Ensign, too. She recently competed in the Race to Alaska and is currently the Program Manager of the MCSC.
