No longer living aboard my Stevens 47, Comfortably Numb, in the NYC area. Now land based in Wellington and Ciudad Colon. CN is in Ft. Lauderdale but headed to Newport this summer. It been an entire waste of a trip south bringing the boat to FL for the winter.

I am a educated, professional person who has worked mostly in technical areas.

Destinations visited:
4 of the continents...so far. Most of my international experience has been racing J-24's (5 World Championships)

Cruised in New England and the Mediterranean extensively, also FL, BVI, Bermuda, passages between Tortola and Newport.
Looking to:
enjoy life, meet new people and continue sailing

current plan is to be based in LI Sound this summer, leave for the Chesapeake late summer, down to FL for the winter and then down to Boca del Toro and San Blas Islands in Panama in the future

Laser Pico sailing in Caldera

Fellow SeaKnots member Max Soto joined in plus sailing buddy Bruce Young. We had a great day of warm weather/warm water (both in the 80's), light air sailing. We are hoping to increase the sailing activity here in Costa Rica by magnitudes...especially our own! I will post a few photos after Max sends them to me



Here's a few photos

CT to Norfolk

Posted on September 9, 2009 at 1:12pm 1 Comment

I just returned from Norfolk by car after sailing the boat from CT to Norfolk this past weekend. We left from Westbrook,CT on Friday and arrived on Monday AM. It was a bit short on crew as I had to share my 3rd crew (I prefer at least 4) with a friend from Martha's Vineyard who was alone on his Hans Christian 48. We sailed down as a pair. On Friday, mid-day, we passed by the UN on the way down the East river. We spent a very enjoyable overnight in Sandy Hook then set off mid-day Sat for Norfolk… Continue

Found your site and answered my own question re-live aboard. Great life, if I could only stop working. Down to 3 days/ week but cannot seem to break the last tie called funding my lifestyle.
My dream is to do the Pacific via the Panama. Possibly back home to Australia to visit family than off again.
Have a great summer

Why are hubcaps less common on modern vehicles?

 Hubcaps, which are attached directly to the wheel and rim assembly, are less frequently seen on modern vehicles. This shift is largely due to the adoption of wheels made from aluminum or metal alloys, which are less vulnerable to damage from salt, road chemicals, and harsh winter conditions compared to the previously common steel wheels.WheelCovers.Com prioritizes customer support and security to provide a seamless shopping experience.
