A few words about myself seem in order here. I am male, 69 yrs. of age (an old fart). Born in
England, served in the Royal
Navy for 7 years. Had trouble settling down on being demobbed so joined a friend in the same situation and took his father's
boat from Falmouth to the West Indies and back via
Bermuda for a year. Got married and emigrated to
Canada, currently live in Toronto until 'er at
work retires next month then we plan on moving to a small place called Goderich on Lake Huron. We currently own a
Hughes 31
sloop, not fast by any means but very comfortable and easy to handle on the
Great Lakes. Most sailing to date has been on
Lake Ontario, but with the move next year we plan to sail to Goderich via the Welland
Canal, Lake Erie and into Lake Huron. Then we shall be sailing in Georgian Bay and I hope to cover all the
Great Lakes before I have to hang up my sea-boots. Have been lurking for a while before deciding to leap into the fray.
Cheers to all.
