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

Paul P replied to GaryG's discussion Maintainig teak companionway doors in the group Beneteau 40 & 43"Hi Gary, honestly I haven't tried purchasing it since I bought my 2 quarts. I'm only half way into the first quart after 2 years. Of course I store it properly (or so I think) so I'm hoping to have enough for another 3-4…"
GaryG replied to GaryG's discussion Maintainig teak companionway doors in the group Beneteau 40 & 43"Paul,
I heard about TeaQua, but I can't find it to purchase. I was told its no longer made. Where do you get it?"
Paul P replied to GaryG's discussion Maintainig teak companionway doors in the group Beneteau 40 & 43"I use TeaQua on my rails and companionway doors. I've only had to apply it once to the doors since the original oil faded. I do my rails in the spring. Just a quick sand and rub it on."
