- About Me:
- I'm a longtime sailor, cruiser and former liveaboarder (17 years). I've cruised So. Calif./Channel Islands and the east coast, from Chesapeake to Florida. My first big boat was huge, a Waquiez 43 ft. ketch...too big, but a great liveaboarder. Next was a Baba 30, my main cruising boat, and a sweet one. Now I've just bought a 1979 Cal 3-34, and I'm getting to know it. My partner, Wanda, is relatively new to sailing and has never cruised.
- Current location:
- San Diego, California
- Destinations visited:
- None yet on the Cal
- Looking to:
- Coastal cruis So. Cal and the channel islands, then perhaps head south in the fall to Mexico.
