Janine acquired her passion for boating as a very young girl fishing for Stripers and Bass with her Dad and brother off of Eaton’s Neck.  Boating with her family included water skiing and swimming at Sand City, sunning in Lloyd Harbor, and trips across Long Island Sound.  With fifty plus years of boating experience, she took the Boating Safety Course for the first time at the age of 15 and has taken it three times since.  Her passion for boating safety prompted her to become certified as a United States Power Squadron Boating Safety Instructor.  Currently, she serves as the Liaison for Neptune Sail and Power Squadron, a/k/a America’s Boating Club.  She is the proud Skipper of a Shamrock Mackinaw 260.  Furthermore, as a credentialed Interfaith Chaplain, Janine loves to do services at sea.
