Hello from Annapolis, Maryland

[Kiwiboyd]

Hi, I'm new to this forum, but not to sailing. I have cruised/worked/raced for a number of years in the islands and the med. (from age 21-34)
I captained a number of boats, Swan 651, Shuttleworth Cat.etc, I also like to yacht race, I have campaigned a few boats and even raced around the world.

I have now settled in Annapolis with the best wife one could wish for and have two beautiful kids. I don't spend much time on the water anymore, I get most of my fix online.

I still work in the marine industry, I bought Apex Inflatables in Annapolis two years ago, renamed it to Annapolis Inflatables.

Cheers
Kiwi Boyd

And welcome to the drinking town with a sailing problem!
Cheers.

ah the joys of self employment ; -)

I'm a porta-bote girl myself but we are equal opp sailors around here and I am sure you will be able to answer many questions folks have about their blow ups!

"ah the joys of self employment ; -)"

not the best timing on my part to buy a business in this industry.

Yea, but at least you know if you can't make it in Annapolis selling good inflatables, it likely isn't the product's fault.
