Hi there

[Golden_Gears]

Greetings from a new member. I’ve been sailing off and on through local charters for a few years and want to captain my own boat. I’ll be taking a basic keelboat sailing certification class this fall and hope to purchase a boat in the next year or so. The excitement grows. So grateful to have this resource and all of you to share with and learn from.

Welcome aboard Golden Gears! Where in California are you?

[LittleWing77]

Well done Golden!

Don, let's guess. Does the "Golden" perhaps refer to the Golden Gate Bridge = San Francisco?

What do we win if we get it right?

Welcome Golden Gears - and do take that keelboat course. It'll be a good supplement to what you may have learned so far.

Fair winds,
LittleWing77

Hello! You’re further along than me. I’m looking forward to my second outing on a sunfish tomorrow. Can’t wait to get to the buying-a-boat phase!

LittleWing77- Ha! That's a great guess! But alas, in my case it just means OLD!

Surprised I got a response from my kinda intrusive question. Thank you. I enjoy talking to folks my age and so just pokin’ around and to what ends, I have no idea.
