Connections in Miami, in November
My daughter and I decided to meet up in Miami in the middle of November for vacation. (We are both flying - gratuitous remarks about windward 747s go here...) We are arriving around the 14th. So we are looking to meet up with folks, hopefully find some gentle soul who would like to take us sailing for a day, or a few days, interesting places to stay, things to do, etc.

Is this my new boat?

The boat has been around the world. It's also big - bigger than anything I had planned on for some time if ever - officially 44 feet but that includes a 4 foot bowsprit and about two feet of reverse transom (like most modern sailboats.

Welcome Luana Vaupotic
My friend Luana Vaupotic has joined SeaKnots. She's fairly new at this sailing thing too, so everyone give her a big hello!
As for me, I'm pondering what I might say to a doctor to get an Rx to move to USVI 'for my health'. I have another cold, there's crusty snow everywhere, and we're getting another eight inches of snow this weekend. Sigh.

Hi Lola
Thank you for the very kind offer, but I'm afraid I don't qualify, not married, no mate.
I'm not looking for a weekend adventure, more of an extended winter stay in sun and warmth. I love your area. I spent a few months in Beaufort and go...

I could use some sunshine this winter. Anyone looking for a share the sail crew? I can reciprocate with a cruise to Georgan Bay/North Channel next summer, if you care to escape the heat and humidity of Fla in the summer.
I'm also a certified Dive...
Hi Jen
I joined recently and am a little late in responding. You have gotten a lot of good advice. Z's last statement, something like "a boat gets real small, with the wrong person aboard" is probably the best.
