About Me:
Sailboat addicted, I currently own 5 sailboats, ranging in size from 12 feet to 33 feet. Two are in the water, ready to sail. Three are in various stages of rebuild.
Married, 3 grown children. Family isn't into sailing so I mostly single hand. Anybody want to go sailing? Mid Bay, ready to go with very little prodding, almost any day.Weather isn't really an issue.

Get a playlist! Standalone player Get Ringtones
Current location:
Land home in Richmond
Destinations visited:
Deltaville, Urbanna, Irvington, Yankee Point, Fishing Bay, Yorktown, Mobjack Bay, Kilmarnock on Indian Creek. Occohannock Creek (sort of, got stuck)
Pikesville, Middle River, Magothy River behind Dobbins Island and farther up. Annapolis, Rhode River
From First snow of 2009
Looking to:
Just happy day sailing with the occasional 5 to 10 day cruise around the bay. Always open for an overnite on the hook. Was scheduled to do the Baha Haha in October of 2007, but life got in the way. Would love to have a chance to do that sort of extended off shore sailing, or possibly a Bahama's adventure.

My Boats and boats I've sailed on

I'm the proud owner of 9 sailboats. Columbia 8.7, Columbia Sabre, Compac 16, Victory 21, and a 12 foot Sea Sprite (? ) The Columbia's and Compac are either in the water or ready to splash. The Victory and Sea Sprite are works in progress.
I just added an Aqua Cat 12.5, a Hobie 16, a Hobie 18 and a Lockley Newport Panther.

First time sailing a multi hull

Those of you who know me, know that I'm sailboat addicted. I own 11 sailboats, not counting the Hobie 16 that I cut into pieces yesterday.
Sadly, I never have time to sail any of them except the Columbia 8.7, a heavy keel boat.
Well, today, that changed. I trailered the Aqua Cat 12.5 (12 1/2 foot catamaran) over to Swift Creek Resevoir, and a friend let me use a private ramp to launch.

Chesapeake Bay Buddy Cruise September 21,2009

I'm going to attempt another planned cruise on the Chesapeake in September. Sheila (wife,Admiral) and I on our Columibia 8.7, and Martin Duffy on his CS27, possibly one other couple on their Hunter 46 (?). Any and all are welcome. No set agenda as yet, just attempting to sail as far north as possible in a couple of weeks. Our starting point will be Urbanna, Duffy will be Deltaville. Anyone to the south or east can meet up with us in Dville area, or along the northern route, probably on the weste… Continue

The Dream

AllAboutMe (A Columbia Yacht)



As with so much in life, many of the experiences that I had hoped for in my twenties and thirties, had to be put aside, in order to raise a family, and earn a living.
The dreams just didn't fit in the space that was left. Then, in my middle forties, health issues seemed to bring any hope for early retirement to a screeching halt. So that now ,the dreams that had been put aside for later, had to be put back on the shelf,most likely to be left there, gathering dust… Continue

With the wind from the North part of the week, we're rethinking the first week of cruising. Heading south towards Norfolk. Stops in Yorktown and Hampton. If the weather holds, Norfolk and Cape Charles, then back up the Rappahannock by the weekend.
Drop off the Admiral, take a day to clean the boat, then off again for a week or two of bachelor sailing. Maybe get a northern leg in. St. Mary's City or Solomons, Crisfield, St Michaels, Oxford, Annapolis???
We'll see how it blows...

Are you or will you be in the Caribbean in the winter of 2009? Do you have advice on destinations or precautions? Want to meet up with fellow sailors that are close by? If so, then you should join and share your experiences!

Nice footage! I read the book during our Atlantic crossing and have had the movie in my Amazon wish list for 7 years! Thing is that I don't own a VHS player anymore and I haven't been able to find it on DVD yet.... :-(
