After growing up on the gulf coast of Florida and spending a lifetime on the water, in and around boats, I have moved to the mountains of East Tennessee. When I proclaimed my desire to find a boat and revisit my pursuit of sailing, my friends here all thought I had lost my tiny mind. A few short years ago I acquired a small keelboat, a Com-pac 16, and now enjoy most of my free time sailing the lakes, rivers, and inland waterways of this beautiful, mountainous country at an elevation of almost one thousand feet above sea level. Night Sailing, I find to be a particular delight; drifting slowly and silently along on a soft, summer breeze across the face of the deep with the moon and stars lighting the way as a warm breeze, like the sighing of a brokenhearted lover, caresses the skin and fills the sails, moving the boat gently through the night; it is an experience that is nothing less than magical to me. I hope to find others here with whom to share the many joys of sailing.
Current location:
Latitude: 35.9612 Longitude: -83.5388 Elevation: 876 ft (267 m)
Destinations visited:
The lakes and rivers of East Tennessee, the bays and estuaries of Northwest Florida and surrounding Gulf of Mexico, Jamaica...
Looking to:
Live every day as if it were my last, because, one day, it will be.
Get to know others with whom to share the joys of sailing, and the continuing exploration of life's Great Mystery.
Hi Milt,
Long Beach is wonderful!! We brought the boat down the Tenn Tom from Pickwick Lake a year ago, and are loving it here. Everyone on the gulf coast has been friendly and open, we've made a lot of new friends!!!
We sailed Pickwick lake on the Tenn River for about 20 years and know what you mean about the beauty of the lakes up there---we enjoyed all of our time there and still have wonderful friends who sail there.
