Kate O Donovan's Comments

Thanks Kate..not quite sure what to make of this site.  I love the water and boating...recently ended a relationship where my partner did not like boats...just golf.  Now its my turn to turn to my love of life.  Is this a social site?

Hi, Kate,

Thanks for the nice comment!  My long dreamt of plans to retire, buy a boat and set off on a cruising life are on hold until some real estate sells. So, what I've just done is rented a home (with dock!) on Lake Lanier near Atlanta, Georgia where I work. It's a fairly large lake, about 100 square miles, but, of course, not the same as being at sea. I'm in the market looking for a 20 footer so I can have some fun this summer. Please let me know if you come this way.

merry christmas, to a coffee table sailor

Other than the Azores, the only marina we have visited in Portugal is Lagos and it was great. It's big, close to town and with all the boat services you can ask for!

Kate,

Truly, your last statement is a wise one. I gave up trying to convince friends to become sailors. Rather, I leave an open invitation. You are right, it is much easier to make friends with sailors. Enjoy your adventures. Our ships just might pass one night, , , my big voyages will start in June 2012 with mini trips between now and then around the east coast of Florida. Best wishes for safe sailing.

Kate,

Sounds like you've been busy!!! Next time y're in the States, we'll have to do some Chesapeake Bay sailing.

Welcome aboard the world of solo sailors. As much as I enjoy sailing with compatable crew I tend to be one who does what I want, when I want, and how I want. Ideally, I'll meet up with other solo sailors with whom we can do some caravan voyages. Having just brought my new boat home, immediate plans include a two week cruise to Key West over the xmas holiday; followed by a round trip from Florida to NY harbor in June of 2012. Where are you????????

One day at a time, one detail at a time, you will sail at the right time! Be safe, Marlene

Hi Kate, thanks for getting in touch. I am interested; please book a space.

Will try to catch up in Tralee on next visit.

Patrick.
