Sorry for the delay in answering, I never got the notice from cruisersforum.com that you had sent the message! Thanks for the compliment, our boats are cousins for sure.
Are you in Kemah yet?
We keep our boat at Matagorda Harbor, no traffic, noise or crowded waterways! It is truly beautiful compared to Kemah. It's quiet and tranquil with lots of birds ( most species sighted in the USA in the official bird count more than a few times) and other wildlife. Just enough civilization to get groceries, a good meal and a libation.
Thanks for the message and I hope to hear from you soon!

Hi Andy
Guess I'm the guy you are looking for. 55, semi-retired, used to navigation, night watches, weather, cooking, etc. Helped a fare amount of owners get their boat where they want to go, including along the Great Lakes, East Coast, back from South America, through the Panama Canal, etc.
I'm time flexible, easy to get along with, and really like sailing. Feel free to give me a call 224-280-9869. If I'm indisposed I will call you right back.
