[Raider Curt]

Most weekends, you will find me on the boat at Oak Island. I am new to boating and to sailing. Usually, there is some little project that I'm working on. So far, I've met several live aboard sailors at the marina. I've even been up in the chair on one of their boats. It seems that I was the lightest of the 3 of us. Note to self "fatten up". Actually, it was pretty cool.

Howdy Raider Curt,

Welcome aboard, sir.

Wow... "another NC newb"! I knew I liked ya Mr. Forklift man!

I need to PM somebody and make sure it wasn't "him" that sent ya up the stick... If so, I think it was right unfair to take advantage of ya...

So you think I'm still not suspicious because of your "public salutation"???

You take me for a fool???

32 foot Morgan Since you know the area, it's actually on the border of SPT & Oak Island at SHVM.
They already know me well at The Dead End Saloon

Welcome here. I'm new to this consuming hobby as well as this forum. Have a new to me Catalina 30 here in NC. So many new NC folks on the board now. We should get a newbie meet up together sometime.

Right you are, sir...appears that recruiting poster needs some work.

And no, different masts and different climbers.

I confess that I've not yet darkened their doorway at The Dead End. Perhaps we'll have a meet-up there, as Downtime suggested, and discuss the wisdom of honorary membership for the guy with the sticker.

I have been seen upending a glass at Slainte, however.

Aloha Y'all,
SPT SHVM in NC to you too!
What's all that stuff?
