​STEVE SPEIDEL
Steve has experienced the joys of sailing from the early age of 10 on Gravelly Lake in Tacoma, WA. By High School he was building a Sunfish in shop class. After serving a four-year tour in the US Navy, he worked as crew delivering sailboats on the West Coast and through the Caribbean Sea to Mexico. After gaining a degree in Environmental Design, Steve moved back to Seattle and immediately purchased an 18 foot daysailer. He and his wife Terri later settled on a Catalina 22 pop-top, (which they still have today).
After retiring from his “day job”, Steve has rescued several sailboats from neglect and made them available to non-profit organizations. His current passion is cruising on an Ericson 36 RH with his grandsons and passing the pleasures of sailing on to the next generation.  Steve sits on the Ship Committee for Port Angeles Sea Scout Ship 1212 and holds a Merchant Marine US Coast Guard license for operating 50 and 100 ton vessels with a Sailing Endorsement.
