Hi Everyone!

[Caroline0223]

OK... so I don't have a boat. What I do have is a large network of friends who all seem to be into boats. So I thought I'd join this board to watch, read and learn. If anyone has any suggestions or comments, I'd truly appreciate any and all assistance.

I currently reside in Philadelphia and travel to Florida often. I'm hoping to make the BIG CHANGE in the next year. I love the water. I can't stress that enough. I think I was a mermaid in a previous life.

So here I am, open to suggestions, and thank you all for tolerating this "newbie".

Hi Caroline,
Welcome also - hope you achieve your aims and we'll see you on the oceans one day soon.

Welcome aboard. Sounds like you are a prime candidate for crewing, especially when in Florida (assuming you're near the water). The good thing with that is, it can give you an opportunity to see a variety of boats, if you intend to eventually get one yourself.

Best of luck,

Good morning, all! Thanks for the link, John. Will absolutely check out the blog. Gotta start somewhere, I suppose. I really do believe this community is a good place to start. Thanks for being so very kind!! Now off to work I go...since I still haven't hit that darn lottery
