Jersey City, NJ
About Me:
I've been a sailor and boat owner since 1997, and currently sail an O'day 322 out of Newport Marina in Jersey City, NJ. I'm New York City born and raised, but currently living in Monmouth County, NJ. Counting down the years till I can leave my job and the coastline behind for who-knows-where. For me, music and sailing go hand in hand (the guitar goes where I go). C'mon over for a visit, if you get a chance.
Current location:
Third rock from the sun
Looking to:
Connect with other sailors. (Aren't we all?)

    Pete, Just want to say hello from one O'day owner to another. I see we have the same grey hull. Don't see too many of those around. Just joined and hoping to keep up with other sailors and their travels.

    I just uploaded a tune to this page. It's an original from my old (circa 1982) band days. I think it still holds up pretty well. More to come, perhaps.

    hey buddy - have a question for you. (dont I always lol) Anyways you know I am looking for a boat. Well let me tell you I found this awesome Oday 272 and I am like oh I want it. lol Something about the 272 that I love. And this one has wheel steering and a shower and pressure water. But it has an out board motor. (new one) Thats the one thing that makes me think about it. What do you think ablout the outboard verses the desiel? I still think I should get a catalina 30 but this one is sweet! lol Hope your doing great and having lots of fun. Ok am headed to the beach - have a great day....

    Is this the one and only Pooby ??? These old ODay sailors keep showing up everywhere ...*LOL* Keep the guitars strumming and the liquid refreshments flowing & you will eventually get to sail off in the sunset to places far..far away & leave that ugly 4 letter word (W-O-R-K) behind ....Sail on!!

    Hey Pete, how are you? Did you bring EmmieLou over to Newport Marina already? We'll be doing our maiden voyage this weekend (weather permitting) and should be there on Memorial Day.

    May 19, 2008

  • Pete

    You betcha, Cap'n! EmmieLou is safely and securely tucked in at Slip South 36. I should be there this weekend, and I'll keep an eye out for you.

  • CAN DRAC

    Hey Pete, no problem! You missed a really warm reception by everyone at the marina with Champagne and all. As you can imagine, it was our first time docking the boat so we were a bit nervous but there were so many hands helping out that it was just a breeze! We looked for you and saw EmmieLou peacefully resting in its berth. Hope you had a chance to sail her hard with all the wind this weekend. Hope to finally meet you this weekend!

    Hey sailor boy! Nice to see you again on sea knots.
    Just got back from pirating and sailing in the Keys over Memorial day. Way cool. We built a canon that shot bread balls and blew all the other boats out of the water. No, I did not get arrested. Happy sailing to you!

    It's official -- I got my USCG captain's license in the mail over the weekend. Yee-ha!!! The first big step on the path to a second career. Anyone want skipper or crew for a boat delivery? I'm available. Stop by Newport Marina in Jersey City and say hi.

    Hey Pete ...how much trouble was it to obtain your USCG lic. & was it costly ? I've been thinking about getting some credentials for some time - but always thought it was going to be either A)too time consuming, B)too expensive, C)too hard to pass all the exams, or perhaps D) ALL of the above! Enquiring minds want to know ...... ;)=
