Greetings from Texas!

[capnrick]

Greetings, My name is cap'nrick, I am a newbe to sailing. I have been working in The Gulf of Mexico for three years on offshore drilling rigs and have gained a love for being at sea. I began researching sailing and before I knew it I wound up buying a sailboat on e-bay. It is a fixer upper, and my goal is to have it in the Gulf and sailing and hopefully living aboard by spring 2008. I am in the sponge mode right now, absorbing all the information I can get compressed into the tiny zip file between my ears. I look forward to comunicating with all onboard in the future!!
Cheers, cap'nrick
