My father bought me a sabot for my 10th birthday and that is when the bug bit me. I went to a Laser and then at 17 I sold my GTI and bought an Ericson 23 and a Moped. Mom didn't like the moped idea, so they bought me another car. When I start college (only 20 miles away) my parents offered to rent me an apartment. I took the money and took over a Mariner 40 Ketch (woody) and liveaboard. Since then I have had more than a few boats and a few houses. I lost my Mull 40' in Wilma when a 118' Charter Barge broke free and squashed my boat (luckly I was not aboard). I moved to a house and bought a Santa Cruz 27' to sail (need that fix) and sold her in 2009. I moved back to Huntington Beach, CA (where I am from) and now have mom living with me. My father has Alzheimers ( in a home now)and i am his guardian and I am taking care of mom. Currently looking for a small cruiser, more than likely a Nor'Sea 27. Not to liveaboard, but to escape for 2-7 days in the Channel Islands. It is great to be out of the SoFla Heat, but do miss some great friends.



I have never been married, although I have been engaged more than a few times, but they never got the sailing thing. Looking for a LTR with someone that wants to go sailing for more than a few years and see and experience life.

I live 3 blocks from the Beach, about a 10min walk to the Huntington Beach Pier (I have to live at least close to the water). When I am old and grey i would like to build a house on the Big island, where I once lived and visit often.

Yep. I gathered from the comment conversations link that the photo is not of zooks.

Never been to Oz, but have a good friend in Taz and Surfers Paradise. When I go, I want to go and see it all and surf the good breaks!

Thanks Salty Monkey, I looked at that one. It is a bit pricey, the one in Hawaii can be had for $20k and I can do more than a few things with $39k.......When I go sailing I want 40'-52' and with more performance.

I had a friend with a Westsail 32' that did Panama to the Marquesas last year....51 days! He sold the boat and bought a Farr 40.....LOL!

But right now I want to be cruising, and living aboard, so where better to hang my help wanted sign than here!

Not fitting in is the new fitting in

(at least on SSSSM )

[SaltyMonkey]

Maybe i'll just take my boat fund and fly around taking each of you to lunch instead of buying a boat.
