Hello there!

Happy to be joining this community! I live blocks from Lake Michigan and although I don't have a boat, I catch rides with anyone who'll let me! I spend my sailing dollars chartering until I get to begin the next chapter of my life which I hope includes a floating beauty.

I'm headed to the Chesapeake Bay this week where I'll spend a few days with my dad, husband, and good buddy on Our Solitude, a Lippincott 30.

Hi, windrunner.

Welcome to CF. Many of us got started sailing on OPBs (Other People's Boats) and charter boats. It's a great way to find out what you like before taking the plunge. Have fun on the Chesapeake, my old sailing grounds.
