Marine activities
My whole life has been spent on and around the water. I very much enjoy the marine environment both for work and recreation. This has given me a huge respect for the environment we work in.
It also allows me to see hazards that may not be apparent to people who have not spent over 30 years living and 20 years working in this field.
