Just wanted to throw a first post:
THE GOOD:
- Love the
water / ocean
- Loved wakeboarding every morning before heading off to
work when I lived in Bel Marin Keys (Marin County, CA)
- Enjoy New Adventures,
learning and LIVING
- Grew up in Iowa (not good from a sailing perspective, but great from a
core values and
work ethic perspective)
- Have always dreamed of not just having a
sail boat, but living on one
- Plan to document my education and experiences from not knowing the difference from Port and Starboard to living on a
boat in 5 years
- Am currently a web developer, so will have a specific interest in being connected to manage my sites as I travel
- My wife has sailed for years
- My wife and I finally set our sites on achieving this goal and plan to be living on a
boat in 5 years when our youngest graduates high
school
THE BAD:
- Currently living in Dublin, OH
- Have never been on a
sail boat, let alone sailed one
- Currently have no friends that have sailboats or that even know anyone that has sailboats
My wife and I will be heading to the
Annapolis Sailboat show Oct. 6th - 10th. Hoping to begin my immersion into the sailing world through
forums like this, my subscription to SSCA,
books, and hopefully meeting some new friends who have patience with complete newbies like myself.
