Curtis Weinrich

Chemist by schooling, builder by training, stubborn and somewhat irreverent by birth, Curtis is on a quest to reinvent the wheel, as it were. Determined to find out if the world really is round, he has joined forces with the wonderful crew of the Maggie B to make his first experience ever setting foot aboard a sailing vessel a rounding of the infamous Cape Horn.

Before this trial by fire, he has been, in turn, a forklift operator, concrete flatworker, printing factory grunt, lawn god (actual job description), DOE researcher, strawbale house builder, farmer, aspiring writer (to what he doesn’t know yet), commercial fisherman, and busboy.

When not being gently prodded by the Captain of the Maggie B to hurry up and write his bio, Curtis is spending his time aboard being awestruck at the otherworldly beauty of southern Chile, cooking, avoiding doing the dishes, and reading. Son of four parents, older brother to 3, friend to many, Curtis resides mainly in his own head.
