Penguin thinking about jumping off the iceberg

[phsylent]

Good digital day to y'all,

I've been reading posts on this site for quite a while now and I guess its finally time to jump in and join the fun. I grew up on and around boats on an inland lake and wound up joining the sailing team at my college. Since then my sailing itch has grown considerably and I found myself the author of the team's training documents and maintenance manuals. Now I stand at the end of my educational tenure looking for a new group of sailors to learn from.

Regards,

Welcome aboard CF, physlent. I hope you soon find some boats you'll enjoy crewing on. It is a lovely way to slither towards boat ownership, as you see quite a variety of types, and setups, which sparks ideas of your own, and eventually informs big decisions.

Happy to be here JPA Cate! I'd love the opportunity to get more experience and as I'll be elaborating on in my next thread I'm more than slithering toward ownership.

You do know that most often the penguin is pushed in by the others don’t You?
It’s how they determine if there are any Leopard seals around.

In all honesty that's precisely how I feel every time I join a new group. But this time its my own desires, aspirations, and curiosity that have pushed me.
