aloha, we live at the bottom of big island,
hawaii and a long way from most things nautical but being able to talk story on these
forums gives us the inspiration to continue on in our madness..my wife may and Ii have been sailing since we married in 78 and built our schooner salano in
british columbia. sailed her till she was
lost in a huricane in the
south pacific in 91, very sad but Ii survived to own ceceline a year later and though not a lot of sailing we have very much enjoyed just having and being around boats..planning a
cruise this summer maybe to b.c. before getting married in 78 owned a 40ft
ketch Ii built in
canada and sailed it south through the
canal to
new york and finally montreal.. before this numerous boats too many to mention I have built to various designs.. settled down to building an owning houses after all our friends mentioned the roots that we needed only to find they were too busy to come all the way here to visit..so now we are getting back to our dreams of sailing again a little late but still got the itch.. well thats the short form.mahalo
