Newly

Newly: one who is awkwardly unfamiliar and stares at everything.
Thanks for all the hello's, I'm surprised at the response. I'll soon be trading the wondering stares for knowing looks, albeit preceded by a lot of questions. Great website.

Welcome Derik LOTS and lots of interesting information and threads here - might keep you busy reading for a few weeks. There are a heck of a lot of talented and experienced sailors on board and they just love to share all that with fellow sailors.

Enjoy!

Good Call Mark, lol

Damn, Mark.... ! IS there a limit on how long someone can get welcomed? LOL.

Actually, I was looking at another thread and this one popped up as related, then I opened to view. I didn't check the dates.
Good Call.......keep an eye on me, so I don't wander off again.
