Good Morning,
I've been a long time "lurker" who's decided to become more active here. I guess I could be classified as another dreamer, who hopes to
cruise full time in the future (in retirement).
I sailed a bit in High
School, a 14'
Hobie Cat on a lake in Connecticut. Took a long hiatus, but got back into sailing in 2005 where I picked up the cruising bug. Took my
ASA 101 and did a few charters out of
Kemah, but the
kids were too little and there were other life priorities. Fast forward to 2015, I had a new goal. Take the
family on a
bareboat charter in the BVI's before we're empty nesters. Completed
ASA certifications through 106, joined a sail club and sailed more frequently (mostly
racing in Galveston Bay on boats 30'-46') I've done 5
offshore races and have more than 1000 miles
offshore now. In the Summer of 2017 we chartered a 40'
catamaran and had a great 8 days sailing around the BVI's. Next goal is to get more offshore experience,
crewing deliveries. I've learned a lot from all here while lurking, thanks to all for sharing your experiences, I'm looking forward to more
It was! (Jan 6th 2018)
