Hi, I am new to this forum. I started sailing as a child and earned my Captains
license from the U.S.C.G. Auxiliary when I was 14 so I could sail alone in the
Long Island sound. Now I am retired and want to go back to my love of sailing. Any
advice for a man that wants to buy and live on a sailboat on the south shore of
Long Island, NY. I plan on moving onto and getting her into ship shape before heading south threw the intercoastal waterway to
Florida and further on to the
Caribbean Islands. From now on I am looking to make friends and
learning how to sail again. I am 6'3" and 260lbs so I want room to move around down below
deck. Any and all help is very much appreciated and I will try not to make an ass of myself. Thank you.
