Instructor
Yosh is a USCG 25T Captain, former PADI MSDT scuba Instructor, avid wild swimmer, and blue-water sailor with thousands of miles of offshore experience. Yosh competed in the prestigious TransPac race from Los Angeles to Hawaii on s/v Good Trouble, Andrews 56 with Offshore Racing Outreach, a team of majority minorities, the first of its kind in the race’s 100+ year history. Read about the team in Latitude 38. Her extensive log includes a 2,700NM double-handed passage to Hawaii, deliveries through the Caribbean and South Pacific, and three Baja Ha-Ha rallies. Whether racing Express 37s in San Francisco or wild swimming under the Golden Gate Bridge, Yosh is a lifelong waterwoman dedicated to exploring the world’s oceans above and below the surface.
From outrunning cyclones in the South Pacific to earning a Latitude 38 cover shot in the Sea of Cortez, her maritime career spans the globe. If Yosh spends too much time on land, she feels like a fish out of water. Her big dream is to circumnavigate the world by boat and dive in remote bays. Her infectious passion for sailing is imprinted on her students where you can find her teaching ASA 101 Basic Keelboat Sailing and ASA 103 Basic Coastal Cruising many weekends of the year.
