Hello from Uruguay

[rpnuy]

Hi. I am Ralph, 71, retired, expat living 6 months/yr in Uruguay and the other 6 months on my Pan Oceanic 38 pilothouse sailboat (currently located Annapolis area). between 1964 (when I started cruising) and now I have cruised the whole East coast from ME to FL, the Gulf coast from C. Christi to FL, Bahamas, USVI, BVI, Antigua to FL and most stops in between, crossed the Atlantic, Spain, France, Italy, Malta, and Greece. I am starting a massive refit in a few weeks, installing behind-the-mast furling and upgrading most of the sail handling equipment (like installing self-tailers <Winchmate> on my Barient 27's). I only hope that I can find the time to enjoy this group as much as I have during my "off-cruising" time.
