Profile Information

Profile Type:: Sailor

Homeport:: West Linn, OR

About Me:: Lifelong sailor at heart. Currently without a boat.

Born and raised in Mobile, AL, I always loved the Gulf of Mexico and dreamed of seeing the world from the deck of my own boat. Landed in Oregon by way of Louisiana, Michigan and the SF Bay area.

Current location:: United States

Destinations visited:: Over the years I have sailed Mobile Bay, Galveston Bay, Lake Michigan, Lake Pontchartrain, San Diego Bay, Flathead Lake, Puget Sound and the Columbia River. All on other people's boats... friends, relatives, rentals or charters.

Looking to:: Short Term: Buy a trailerable sailboat (24-26 feet) in the next couple of years and spend a few years experiencing the variety of sailing venues in the northwest and gaining confidence/experience.

Long Term: Sell our land-based dwelling and buy a larger sailboat, then spend a few years getting it cruise-ready. Plan to cast off the docklines for an extended cruise. How long? I guess as long as health and finances hold out, and it's still fun. Expect to stop in interesting places to work for a while along the way.

Michael Boyle commented on CAN DRAC's group Beneteau 40 & 43

"Hi All, french built 2010 43 has been very dry down below but now a slow leak has occurred which is showing at the limber holes under the floor board in forward cabin. Bilge pump goes every 3hrs for 20secs. Not sure if it’s fresh/rain water or…"
