Hello all,
New to sailing but not to the sea. Grew up in
Florida around motorboats, then 20 years in the
Navy, with 11 on submarines and the other 9 on tiny patrol
boats and "brown water" ops on the beach. Living in Edgewater now, I've owned a motorboat for the last few years and I'm at least semi-conversant with the local rivers. I've been from the
Carribean, to
Europe, and I've stood on the North Pole.
I am reading all the
books I can lay my hands on and I'm lining up a sailing course for the Spring.
My
boat is an un-named '69 Coronado 25 sailboat, #1137. Only 2 owners, and the last owner only had her for 3 years. I have a private slip, easy walking distance from the house so I can keep up on
maintenance.
I'm VERY interested in meeting experienced, local sailors willing to share their knowledge of general sailing, the local waters, local
history, so feel free to PM me.
Cheers,
Rich A.
