Introductions / How did you find sailFar.net?

[Bon]

I have been lurking for a while and was recently invited to join so.. here I am. Lots of valuable info here and I will need it. I recently took possession of a 1970 Coronado 25.. My first boat, and a real learning experience for me. I am a novice sailor, have taken lessons and am now looking forward to practice, practice, practice. :)

Welcome aboard, Bon.  Congrats on the boat.  Have some Grog to welcome both of you to SailFar.

Hi Bon,

Just remember, the learning curve is steep so take small steps... but it's a blast ::). I learned on a Hobie 16 which is like having a Ferrari in drivers ed :o and as the saying goes, "If I can do it, so can you" ;).

Fair winds,

Pappy Jack

[Bon]

thanks for the warm welcome.. I am enjoying reading this site as I await the delivery of my boat. I am certain that I will use this site as a valuable resource.!!

Hey Folks, Just stumbled across this sight.

I have a Spirit 28 on Grand Lake of the Cherokee, in North eastern Oklahoma.  Wife and I have been sailing over 20 years in one thing or another mostly inland lakes. I am looking forward to chatting with you all.

[s/v Faith]

Ahoy, and Welcome aboard SailFar!

  I could not picture your boat, so I looked and found this picture of 'Duchess' on Spirit28.com.



  Sure looks like a SailFar boat to me...  ;D



  Look forward to hearing more about the boat, and your travels / plans.

I have been a lurker for quite a while and finally decided to post. I sail a small trailer sailor in NC. One of the things that has really picqued my interest enought to post is The Scoot, even though it is unlikely I will be able to participate. I may be interested in a mini version for warm up in the NC area.

Let me be the first to welcome you in from the cold!

Welcome aboard SailFar!!

If you are not going to do The Scoot in your own boat, you may do so as crew with someone else.  There may be some singlehanding not by choice who would take on a second watch keeper.

Welcome aboard, Opti - have a Grog! :)
