Whispering Star

I like the name, It seems so loyal. You should post some pictures when you have a day off with pay. I live on the left coast you can see my pictures of my ketch. Take care, Capt Bill

OMG! thats great that you got the boat..which boat? what is she? let me know your timeline and I'll talk to my work if ya still want me (I'd understand if you think it will be too crowded).
Cheers! This is the beginning of your great life of cruising, wow!!

Thanks for the warm welcome to Annapolis. I am really getting excited and I'm sure you are too.

Right now I am looking at Liberty Marina. It is not my number one choice but it has plenty of slips available and a seemingly good liveaboard community. But that's the good thing with living on a boat, if you don't like the neighborhood just cast off!

I am dreading the winter. I am sure that will be a challenge but we will see.

Ye gads I would love that trip! but there is a lot going on at work so probably can only finagle the last leg across the Gulf. Lots of good captains out there, tell me if you need some names. I will say a prayer for you that you have now finally found your boat, Queenie sounds wonderful! I am excited to help with the teak, I love teak decks!! Let me know about a slip and I will talk to the marina. The nice thing about Waterford is the friendly staff and a perfect record of no boat loss during IKE. I figure the savings in insurance costs and the decrease in worry over every single weather system that might develop into a hurricane more that makes up for the higher slip fees. I am paying 380 a month for a 40 footer plus a 60 or 70 dollar live aboard fee.
Cheers,
Erika

Can't do the whole trip but would try to get off from work to do the Gulf crossing
Hope all is well,
Erika

Don't worry about the book. Have fun!!

PS.
That would be a great birthday present - Vagabond 47. Also, I am a retired varnish lady (they called me queen varnisha ) and would be glad to help with the wood if you need it.
Erika

Cheers,
Erika
