Hello from Maryland

[apoc]

Greating all. Been lurking for some time but thought I would finally make an account and say hi. Purchased my 2010 Beneteau 31 in 2020, have done some minor projects (running rigging replaced, all fluids, cleaned and fixed a leaking black water tank).


My wife and I are in our mid thirties and really enjoying learning a ton. The boat is in Annapolis and we have sailed to St. Michael's and lots of little trips in the bay. 31 feet is the right size to learn to sail the bigger boats without the big slip fees. Once we get closer to retirement we are looking to upgrade to a bigger boat, around 44 feet.



Looking forward to soaking up the knowledge. Cheers!

Welcome Apoc, we're just north of you on Marley Creek. Enjoy your new boat and say hi if you see us around!

Welcome to the forum. Saint Michael's was one of our favorite stops in the Chesapeake. You have a great home base to learn and play in!

Welcome to CF Apoc from Long Island Sound.
We are planning on going down to cruise Chesapeake Bay come Oct./Nov.
When ready come up to LIS.
Enjoy, Hugo

Welcome aboard! It's a good size boat.

I sailed the Chesapeake for a little bit when I lived in Baltimore (farther south now). You have a good set of stomping grounds. You should even have a front row seat to the Great Chesapeake Bay Schooner Race in October 4-9!

Welcome aboard.

Fellow Chesapeake Bay sailor, keep my boat just north of you in Sparrows Point.
