SC marsh rat turned soldier, turned sailor (shellback), turned biker, matured to Captain of my dream.
Current location:
Hilo, Hawaii
Destinations visited:
North America, Europe, South America, Magellan's Straits, Hawaii
Looking to:
Sail the Hawaiian Islands before crossing to the West Coast and down to the Sea of Cortes. At some point cruise the ICW round trip up the Mississippi and down the ICW. So much to sail, so little time to do it...!
Where is Gentry's, Kona? I know some of my pictures were on the Kona side where I bought my bike and where my brother lives, but I'm actually on your side of the island in Puna. Do you ever go to Shooters, Bamboo Garden, Emerald Garden, or Palms by the Bay?
Sounds like a plan : ) I spend most of my time on the Big Island but I visit Oahu often so let me know when you'll be in Oahu. Kona is on the wrong side of the island for me. Oahu is more fun anyway. Ever been to Cub Rock-Za or Femme Nu?
Whenever I fly over from Oahu, I fly over this island that looks like a perfect letter "C". Do you know what island I'm talking about? Have you ever been to it?
It looks like it has steep cliffs all around and I never see any boats around it, so maybe its not boat friendly or maybe its some kind of wildlife preserve.

I'm also a graduate of the Marine Military Academy in Harlingen Texas.
Thanks for your input in the forum discussion about security at sea. I just replied to your comment and thought I would drop in on your page to see who I was talking to. I was pleasantly surprised to find that you are a fellow "big islander". Aloha : )
Yes it is a small world. What kind doc is your brother? We are retired military so unfortunatly we dont get to see too many real world doctors. Nice boat by the way, and what a beautivul place you have to sail.
"Hi All,
french built 2010 43 has been very dry down below but now a slow leak has occurred which is showing at the limber holes under the floor board in forward cabin. Bilge pump goes every 3hrs for 20secs. Not sure if it’s fresh/rain water or…"
