About Me:

Sailboat addicted, I currently own 9 sailboats, ranging in size from 12 feet to 29 feet. One is in the water, ready to sail. Eight are in various stages of rebuild.
Married, 3 grown children. Family isn't into sailing so I mostly single hand. Anybody want to go sailing? Mid Bay, ready to go with very little prodding, almost any day.Weather isn't really an issue.

Current location:

Land home in Richmond

Destinations visited:

Deltaville, Urbanna, Irvington, Yankee Point, Fishing Bay, Yorktown, Mobjack Bay, Kilmarnock on Indian Creek. Occohannock Creek (sort of, got stuck)
Pikesville, Middle River, Magothy River behind Dobbins Island and farther up. Annapolis, Rhode River,
Cape Charles,Va,Hampton,Va, Reedville,Va (Mill Creek) ,Tangier Island,Crisfield,Md.

From First snow of 2009

Looking to:

Just happy day sailing with the occasional 5 to 10 day cruise around the bay. Always open for an overnite on the hook. Was scheduled to do the Baha Haha in October of 2007, but life got in the way. Would love to have a chance to do that sort of extended off shore sailing, or possibly a Bahama's adventure.

Hey Larry...

Yes... I believe you are right. That is Fishing Bay where we anchored for a night during Mem.Day Wknd. 2008. The picture is not of my boat, but a real beauty that was there anchored near by. Great anchorage. Obviously you know that if you recognized it from so little detail.

Hope to chat again soon...

I wish we could make the jukebox volume higher than what they have it set as (highest). I think you can import other songs to the site..if u notice many of the same song..listed by different people. Also saw on the site something about finding & embedding....I'll save that for a rainy day..lol... have a nice day! Terri

Ahoy there Matey! I needed an ocean fix today! Called my sailing friend's down in RI this am, took off for the day. Visited Twizzled, shot the breeze with marina owner for a while, met friends, went to Wickford (a girl needs trinkets), ate lunch harborside, walked around (64 deg) a bit and just got home. Needed a "me" day... :-)

With the wind from the North part of the week, we're rethinking the first week of cruising. Heading south towards Norfolk. Stops in Yorktown and Hampton. If the weather holds, Norfolk and Cape Charles, then back up the Rappahannock by the weekend.
Drop off the Admiral, take a day to clean the boat, then off again for a week or two of bachelor sailing. Maybe get a northern leg in. St. Mary's City or Solomons, Crisfield, St Michaels, Oxford, Annapolis???
We'll see how it blows...
