Thanks for your kind words.
2 & 1 Gisle founded the CruisersForum, from Norway, on December 17, 2002, and went “public” on February 24, 2003. [I believe Gisle is pronounced “geezle”]
Gisle owned (I believe he has sold her) a FP Belize 43 catamaran, which he cruised & chartered in the Seychelles.
The birth of twins, building a home in Norway, and a promotion to a very responsible job, all led to Gisle’s declining participation in his Forum; finally resulting in it’s sale to Andy R.
4. I got involved on March 16, 2003; at which time there were 75 of us.
5. I’m enormously pleased and proud of the Forum’s phenomenal growth, primarily since Andy R took over.
This same growth creates numerous difficulties, in administering (& participating in) a forum.
