Profile Information
- Profile Type:
- Sailor
- Homeport:
- Naples, FL
- About Me:
- 66 yr. old semi-retired photojournalist and long time sailor.
Began sailing, Sunfish, Thistle, and Rhodes Bantams in Michigan.
Moved to Fla. in the late 70's and crewed with several local racers and two Naples to Key West races.
After 20 years of pursuing my photojournalist career, I became interested in sailing again and along with a friend, bought a San Juan 24 to sail in and around Sanibel Island. Nice boat but too small for my future adventures.
I found "Namaste" (she had no name when I purchased her), a '79 Watkins 27 Sloop on Craigs List and sailed her from El Jobean (Charlotte Harbor) to Ft.Myers Beach where she is docked. I couldn't be happier with my boat and my port!
Getting ready to do some cruising around Florida and beyond in my Watkins 27, NAMASTE!
- Current location:
- SW Florida

Have you had any issues with your hour meter at the helm station? mine is starting to function intermittently. I use it because this is how I gauge my fuel. the one at the electric panel never works correctly after having it replaced 5…"

Mike Brown replied to Michael Cioffi's discussion Shower water pump in the group Beneteau 40 & 43"Yes LI was a washing machine but east of Block over to Buzzards Bay was downright nasty. I'd have enjoyed it more if we could have stopped to smell the roses but this was all about getting there so it was long days."
Michael Cioffi replied to Michael Cioffi's discussion Shower water pump in the group Beneteau 40 & 43"The LI sound washing machine can be abusive and that is a long trip before Ocean water.
But... im sure you still loved it. LOL
