I`ve been in 40 foot seas and now am sometimes in those same seas teaching inner city children...long to get back into sailing...

    Hi Cathleen,

    I'm from Troy Ohio, sail a MacGregor 22 and a Catalina 25 on Acton Lake at Hueston Woods. I'm looking to find some blue water crewing experience this summer. In the meanwhile, I'm having fun locally. Would love to hear more about your experiences if you would care to join me for a sail when the weather is a bit warmer.

    Hi Cathleen,

    Thanks for the add. I am new at this and will learn more as I spend time here. By the way, I think you have a misspelling near the end of your profile. I think you meant "out" instead of "put". :-)

    If ya miss the 40 ft seas, I'll post some for ya later. We had a nice little no name storm a year ago October off of Mexico, 40-45ft and 80 knot breezes. Took a couple of good 45° rolls.
    Unfortunately left a million homeless in the state of Tabasco, Mexico.
    We sustained some damage onboard but after dealin with it for about twelve hours, we made it into the port of Dos Bocas with no steering, which was fun as the last 30 footer crawled up the stern and finished tearing everything loose. Interesting day.
