Hi there to all you cruisers,
I signed up for the
forums and I'm looking forward to participating. I thought I'd say a few words to introduce myself. I've just retired from the contracting business and will be taking the yacht I built from Pittsburgh to the Gulf and eventually into the
Caribbean. Briefly, she's a Robert's 53 in
steel... have a look at the photos in my album if you'd like. I'll be leaving Pittsburgh PA around mid April 2014 for a trip down the
Ohio River, up the Tennessee River, across the TennTom Waterway and down the Tombigbee River into Mobile. Bound for
Pensacola FL to a shipyard to do some
work on the bottom. I'd be interested in having some crew along to help, mostly with the many locks. I'm thinking about 3 to 3 1/2 weeks for the whole trip but would welcome help for a part of it. I'll be
posting more details in the
crew wanted area.
I'm pretty knowledgeable about
boat construction, mechanical/electrical systems, woodworking, etc. and I hope I have an opportunity to help some of you. Be reading the posts and offering if I can. It would be great to hear from you if you'd like to know more.
