Welcome Kathe, I am new here too...:-)

With my skipper Dan I work on our little ship ORKUN - SWELL I You can get an impression of the tendency on our ship here:
Moments on the ORKUN - SWELL I

On a Gulet can stay overnight up to 12 persons. In roomy 6 double cabs with own bath & toilet you can recover yourself from the stress.

A Gulet is a sailsboat usually made from wood. Gulets were built since the Antique in Karien (particularly in Bodrum and Marmaris) and were over thousands of years the type of ships for the trader from the Amphora, who carried olives, wine and many other precious goods along the Turkish coasts. The wooden building ships are admired for the warmth and great atmosphere compared with the common plastic boats.

As I also do a videoblog about good food and wine, you are welcome to join my group Charlottenburg Cuisine at GREAT COOKS.

We made a episode on our ship. As we think good food and wine is part of great sailing expiriences:

The appetizer is tagliatelle putanesca. As a main course we serve cod filets provencale style and for dessert we serve baked pears in a rosé-honey sauce. Enjoy!

I want to Thank you all.. I spent the day at the boat...did all your advice, bimini down, double lined,carry on air cond is in foot locker, all loose inside secured, tied over the sail covers...did not take sails down..but are really tied secure., put out extra fenders...Advice at the Marina...they wanted lines tight. It has floating docks. Sea cocks closed, auto bilge is on...left shore elec on....The Marina folks said this is all for nothing...they all are doing nothing.

With 3 Hurricanes, I don't want to take a chance...I need to spend tomorrow putting my ply wood up at my house. The RV is ready, and I will leave if things get bad here in NC. Boat is at Little River, SC. My house is at Ocean Isle NC

Greetings from St Thomas, Kathe

My first question is where is Treasure Island in Florida?

Sep 21, 2008
Joe Murray

Anything less than a catamaran, is just half a boat.

Kathe,

I live in Ft Myers on my Allied Princess Ketch (hopefully she will be back in the water by then), but I too wish to attend the St. pete Boat Show. I am currently house-sitting a place in Cape Coral until repairs are completed to Cayo Mio.

When are you going to the show and would you like to meet-up. I can offer a place to crash as well if you don't mind sharing space with Queen Olivia, my galpal boat pug. ou will have privacy and I can cook too.

Kathe,

I'm working diligently to get Cayo Mio back in the water so I can go voyaging again soon. I'm hoping to go to the Dry Tortugas in January, unless I book a delivery to Spain.

Let me know if you have any interest and we can meet-up to discuss possibilities. great pics, by the way..

PS: Where is Treasure Island, and are there other treasures beside you there?,

Capt Tom

Kathe,

Now I am REALLY intreagued (sp). Where is the condo and when do you want to go sailing. Cayo Mio should be back at Ft Myer's City Yacht Basin by late next week.

So what type of crew are you? Are you passenger, fluff or working?> I don't mean to insult you; I just want to know so I can plan accordingly. I am looking for crew to help me get to to the Dry Torutgas for a long weekend of snorkeling, etc.

There is a possibility of a 6 week passage opportunity to Spain in mid January. If it happens I will go, and I suppose that tells you what type of sailor I am. Cayo Mio ISN'T "waterfront property" even though Queen Olivia and I live aboard under "normal" circumstances.

So keep in touch as I NEED my regular"ocean fix".
