Newbe in Alvin Tx

priusron · 22-06-2007, 16:28

I just signed onto this board. I have been a lurker for a while. Haven't sailed yet, but will be taking lessons within the next 2 mos. I am 49 and my mate and I palan on retiring when I am 55-57 and sail the world. We are trying to decide on which catamaran to build, so I will be asking a lot of questions as we go along.

Welcome Ron - May I suggest that you fill in some info on your profile (click on the top right of this screen in the dark blue banner "PROFILE") so that when you ask your questions, the answers can be tailored to your situation and location.

Enjoy

Hello from another newbe. I just signed up 3 days ago! Small world, I
went to nursing school in Alvin, Tx back in 1975. Have a sister and 2 sons
living in the area. We had our present boat built in France and have
been cruising on it since Oct. 2003. Lots of fun and games when you build a boat, especially when the builder speaks no English and the customer
speaks minimal French!! Anyway, welcome aboard and hope we can exchange some ideas soon.
