Congrats!
I'm in the Boston area and have just had an offer accepted on my first
boat (pending
survey, etc). I have however been sailing for 15 years - mostly with Boston Sailing Center boats, but with friends as well.
I imagine I will be busy with my boat mostly (plus other commitments - going to
Canada for 2 weeks on Tuesday). But if we can make it
work I'm always happy to meet fellow sailors, and perhaps we can arrange a sail at some point. Regardless you are sure to meet plenty of fellow sailors in Newburyport.
