Singlehand cruiser aboard an Ontario 32 - Aria. Left Clear Lake, TX last April, going as far north as Annapolis, before heading back south for the winter and spending 3 months at Boot Key Harbor, FL.

Currently in New Bern, NC. May stay and work for the summer before heading back south.

Well ...you end up having to make more money to fill the travel kitty ..or did you decide to sail on? (which would be the natural temptation of course). Either way ..im sure life is getting more and more interesting by the day ...
