Let's make this birthday one to remember.

52 years old (Born on April 18, 1972)

Happy Birthday, Dean Barker! May your day be smoother than calm seas and more exciting than a downwind sprint at the Olympics. From representing New Zealand proudly in Athens 2004 to steering through countless thrilling yacht races worldwide, you've always navigated life's waters with skill and style.

Here's wishing you another year filled with fair winds, clear skies—and fewer capsizes (both literal and metaphorical)! Keep sailing strong; may every tack bring laughter, joy, and even greater adventures ahead. Cheers to you on this special day—you're truly one sailor who never loses his wind or sense of humor!
