Lady Sailor Wants to Meet Gentleman Sailor
Hello:
I am an experienced sailor - both cruising and racing - I am getting ready to retire and I want to meet a gentleman that wants to share the cruising lifestyle. I am selling my current boat, a 35 ft trawler located in Italy, and I would like to start over again on a cruising sailboat that I can share with a "partner" who is experienced etc. Let me know if you or someone you know is interested. Ciao for now.

An oxymoron I hadn't heard, gentleman sailor :-)
Seriously we meet some singlehanders who are truly gentlemen. I hope you find the perfect co captain.

Best Thoughts Pam
I once did a trip Tortola to Miami; now 5 years later seems I was bitten by a bug that has had a gradual effect on my psyche and with no good reason not to I am planning a seabound home.
In 2010 I will be sail ready enough to pay out my hard earned dollars for a little boat out of Florida, Texas or thereabouts.
Staying close enough to people and safety while I learn her quirks (and more of mine) when I'm ready I'll then head out.
You folks seem real chatty; tho it may take me a couple of days to respond got a word or 2 for a neophyte.

Welcome Pam and nice to know there are some serious female loves of the life at sea. I think you will be successful in your dream and approach.
Check references! All sorts of them. Fair winds and following seas....

Thank you for the suggestion. I just may try that. Boy, I sure did receive a lot of "warnings" -- guess it is very good advice.
