Hello,
I just joined today. I live in Southeast
Alaska, having just retired from State
service and will finally have the time to enjoy my 38' refurbished Tollycraft. I use it primarily for
fishing and pleasure cruising in and around Southeast AK. Looking forward to participating in this forum. It appears that there are members from around the world and many from the
Pacific Northwest, where I grew up sailing and cruising the
San Juan islands (many years ago). I have also transited the inside
passage from
Puget Sound to Juneau in 1983 when I brought our cruiser into
Alaska waters. It has not been outside since then. Fortunately, I also own a floating boathouse for moorage. It helps keep it dry and out of the
weather, which can be quite harsh on a vessel up here. I have been steadily refurbishing and updating my
boat for the last 20 years, so I will probably be looking for helpful tips on various issues.
I am more than happy to offer any insights or information for those who are planning to
cruise up this way.
Thanks again for allowing me to join this forum. Best Regards and Safe
Boating to all!
