Hi All,
My name is Rob.I am a former lobster fisherman from
Maine (1982 - 1999) but now I live in an RV,
work from home as a
software engineer, and travel the country with my wife and youngest son. This is our third summer in
Maine since starting the RV life but we
winter between
Texas and
Florida.
Last week we bought a 1980
Pearson 26 sailing
sloop. She is in beautiful condition (for a 38 year old boat) but has been
on the hard for 3 years so needs a little TLC - mostly cosmetic. I have never sailed but having grown up on the
water in a
fishing family and spent most of my early career as a lobsterman I have no doubt I will learn fast. My nephew raced J-24s as a crew
member when he was younger and will "show me the ropes" lol.
Looking forward to cruising Casco Bay and the Maine coast this summer! Maybe in a few years (work and time allowing) I would love to
cruise from Maine to
Florida down the
ICW so we can spend the
winter cruising the
Caribbean :-)
