Happy Saturday All,
I posted a few days ago in the
monohull forum about an Amel Super Maramu but haven't really said "hello"...
Hello!
I'm a 40 yo originally from
Portland Oregon. I grew up sailing at camp up in the
San Juan Islands in
Washington state, and then became hooked on the idea of
bluewater cruising when my
family (and two others) chartered a yacht in
Greece the summer after I graduated from high
school.
Fast forward to a few years later, I moved to
San Francisco with my now x-wife and I immediately signed up for sailing
classes with Club Nautique. I went through their entire program and also joined in on
racing various fleets in
SF Bay.
My girlfriend and I moved down here to LA just over two years ago. Up until 2014, I had been taking sailing
classes and saving
money to buy a
boat...then while still living in
San Francisco I took an acting class.
Since then I've been obsessed with acting which brought us here to LA. As of now, I have my sights set on getting an Amel Super Maramu (or an Amel 64 if I win the lottery).
My main interest in sailing comes from my romanticized ideas of adventure, travel, and discovery which I've had from a very young age. There is no better way to travel than arriving in a foreign land than by
boat.
Cheers!
