Pete's Comments

Ahoy pete, Yeh,Ive been on the bottom a few times but with 3' draft board up I can heal her over a little and usally sail or motor off. Ive been on Barnegat since I was a kid. I had a tartan 34 before the lazyjack. Now I looking to sell to buy a pearson 365 4.6' draft. Because now I'm retired and I'm out of here. One boat or the other I hope to be cruising to Maine the summer. Hank

Hey Pete check out new group

PUT ALL SUSPECTED SCAMMERS HERE

Thanks for your comment Pete.... soon you'll be sailing ~!~*!*~*! ~!

Hi Pete,

Glad to hear you like the books. I've been going to ThrillerFest in NYC for the last three years and in the summer of 2007 I sailed up with a friend on his Ron Holland 43 and we docked there at the Newport Marina in Jersey City. I'm in blue and the others are authors Shane Gericke, Zoe Sharpe and her husband, Andy. Do you recognize the background?

Got that right... ;-)

I'm always up for a party ! Love your photos, especially the one from the mast. Thanks for the heads up on the ODay get together. Right now, I'm trying to find either a cheap or giveaway trailer for 17 foot daysailer.

thanks Pete ! That's a super specimen of an Oday for sure ...i've graciously passed the link on to my friend here. Preciate' ya keeping an eye out for one !

Hey Pete! Thanks for getting right back to us on that ....hey that's a nice center cockpit on that weblink(I have 2 other buds that still have their center cockpit Odays after the hurricane) ,,but I forgot to mention that my other bud's boat was just like yours ..a sloop rig ...and thats kinda what he's wanting to find again ,,,we preciate ya ,,in any case! THXamundo ...

Hey big daddy ...its been awhile ...hope you and the ole Oday are still sailing along gracefully in the world. SAy ..do you have any good feelers out for any Odays out there for sale? It seems the buddy I was tellin you about awhile back lost his Oday 32' to Hurricane IKE down here ..he's still got the vessel for parts ...but the keel broke off and of course the mast is history and the rigging a mess. Im not sure what his budget is ....but I know he sures misses sailing on his baby ..affectionately known as "Day O".

I'm up the Housatonic, past the Route one and Metro N railroad bridges.... But its about as safe an area regarding storms as you can get.

Being a dockominium I have security from exorbitant marina fees.

I grw up on Staten Island....know Jersey City well....My borther went to St Peter's College.

I'm inviting NJ sailors who might be at Liberty Landing to join a new group. Just search for Liberty Landing under the Groups tab.

Sounds interesting and will look forward to hearing more about it.
Thanks.

You can now sail the Barnagate. The chanal was dredged this summer. The Bennie 373 has a 4'5" draft.
All the best

Looks like you're having massive fun on with your boat!

Hey - where have you been? Stop by when you are around, we miss you guys. Are you headed to Annapolis this weekend?

Hope to see you and Janice on the water this weekend!

Me too...I play whatever suits the mood..Eagles etc.

I keep 2 of my guitars in Seattle with one daughter
(Gianinni classical, 1955 Gibson ES 125 ...my first guitar)

and 2 with my other daughter in San Francosco
(60's Greco 12-string and a 1997 Gibson CL-30 Deluxe)

I also have a Jan 1968 Yamaha `12 string FG 230...the first moth of the first year they imported them here..plus a Sebring...Korean knockoff of a Gibson L-5......told by several Jazz Gitarist, that it is the best playing L-5 they ever played (including Gibsons)

Actually I bought a '77 Ovation Pacemaker 12-string two weeks ago, and it is probably the easiest 12 string I have played.

I sold my Bacon and Day 5-string about 1 1/2 years ago('37)
I'm presently looking at several tenors.

Incidently, I'm a retired dentist/dental professor....bu now am a professor at a small private college (Biology/Physics), so I have my summers off.

My boat is a 1960 Pearson Triton ...West Coast Variety...made in Sausalito, CA...and much superior to the East coast variety.

Guitar-wise I presently have 9....( four are 12's)...been playing mostly folk since 1960.
Best two are a Taylor 815CE (prototype) made in 1989 and a Morris B-50 12-string...hand made Japanese guitar ...les tha 100 made over a 6 year period and made with Brazilian Rosewood back and sides ...never imported to the US.
It is basically a 12 string copy of a late 1930 Martin D-45..with all the abalone and such. Best sounding 12 string I ever played.

Hi Pete!! Yes it's Chris from Blarney!! I still miss her and question letting her go all the time. Like I said life changed and there just wasn't time. Kids are getting older and maybe, just maybe there will be another boat in our future.
