Good day cruiser forum,
First and foremost, I would like to say thank you to all the members for contributing your knowledge and
experience to this site each and every day. I have been a long time lurker, diligently sorting through priceless information, that has come in great use time and time again. So finally, as my
boat comes close to completion, I felt it necessary to step out of the shadow and express my gratitude.
I am by all means a
novice at sailing. Though I have a plethora of
experience on
boats, from small
fishing skiffs in the
puget sound, launching dory’s from the
Oregon coast, to captaining a 36’
trawler around the
Great Lakes. However I am not oblivious to the amount of
work and determination it will take to learn all the skills necessary for sailing. And with that I find myself coming here to your guidance once more.
There is still lots to do until the
boat is done, and some of the next projects are beyond my area of expertise, so I foresee myself coming here in the near future with further help. At least this way you will have a small idea about who it is asking for help if I post.
Thanks for your time,
Matthew
