This spider is in the family Pisauridae (fishing/dock/nursery web spiders); likely Pisaurina mira - see http://tinyurl.com/dbnrat and http://tinyurl.com/dk8j4h
They basically are harmless to humans, but larger specimens can deliver a painful bite if mishandled.

I generally wait for a few people to corroborate, but I guess I'll close this. Thanks.
