- About Me:
- I am a greenhorn when it comes to Sailing but have been relishing all I can get my hands on to learn more about it! I plan on taking some sailing lessons next year with a sailing school here in Chicago. Right now i am finishing up building a small 8' Sailing Dinghy that I can practice in. Buying up and reading a lot of used Books of varying topics related to Sailing, Cruising, etc.
- Current location:
- On land :(
- Destinations visited:
- Mississippi River on a Houseboat. Lake Ouachita in Arkansas on something called a, "Camp - Float". They roll your Camper onto a special Pontoon Boat then strap it down. The Company unfortunately is no longer in Business. Lake Mead, Lake Michigan. Numerous Lakes & Rivers in IL, WI, and elsewhere.
- Looking to:
- Build or buy a used fixer upper Cruiser so I can explore Lake Michigan and later on the Bahamas and possibly elsewhere. Taking Sailing lessons this spring with some dryland courses this winter.
