Hi, My Name Is Dave and I Am an Addict . . .
ADDICTED TO SAILING! I'm new to CF and I wanted to introduce myself. I sail a Jeanneau 51 that is the second love of my life. My wife commented that she would prefer I had a mistress rather than S/V Kush. I commented to her that I could sell the boat and get a mistress... with a boat. That comment got me a night on the couch. I'm 50, retired from Education, and spend as much time on the boat as possible. I've been sailing since I was 8.

If you get a chance, drop me a line. I am a typical A type personality, so you will probably like me or hate me, with little indifference.

Take a moment and say Hi. WHo knows, you could be the guy in Tortola that I towed the last NM to port, or the couple in St. Vincent that had the wiring issue with the windgen. You might be the family in Socca, France, that I took pout for a day sail. Who knows... you might have bought me a beer at a seeside bar sometime in the past (and I'd really like another)

So hello and I look forward to sharing with you all.

Dave

You'll find no sympathy here, only enablers.

Welcome Dave, this is certainly where you will find many great answers to questions. Some of them may actually work.
