Thank you gamayun for the kind and sensible words! Didn’t mean to act as a moral police here, just wanted us all to stop for a second, so we could get back to being kind and civilized.

Well, I feel privileged to go sailing in the middle of office hours. Almost no wind at all, barely enough for my asymmetric not to collapse. Couldn’t care less. Caught a small cod, so in an hour or so it’s movie night and fish soup. Reminds me why my boat is called bliss. Take care!

Yep - full trust in the boat is what I don't have yet... because I can't see every square inch of her interior hull... or know the kids names of the welder that did my through hulls... LOL... a little of a control freak in that regard.... but I'm getting there!
Miss being back in the PNW - wish you well & thanks for the welcome so loooong ago. Just figuring out to use CF as social these days, as well as emergency wtf info.

Re: Into the Abyss....
Welcome! I did the same on a 38' boat. Take baby steps, but try to stay one step ahead of maintenance issues. You have to have full trust in your boat!

Biography

Grew up on the Gulf Coast of Florida, then spent 5 years in DC before moving to the San Francisco area. I'm a single woman and bought a 38-ft sloop in January 2013. Named her Kynntana, which was my mother's stage name in Paris nightclubs and with U.S. circuses (she was an acrobat and trapeze artist). The name means 'star' in Malagasy. For the past couple of years, I've gotten pretty good at single-hand and short-hand (just one crew) racing. I am also enjoying cruising around with friends from San Francisco Bay to Monterey Bay. I am now living on my boat and sail/race usually at least once a week.
