Introductions / How did you find sailFar.net?

[fiddlersgreen]

I was told about sailfar.net by a sailor in Georgetown who told me the landing would be a great place to learn to sail and dock my boat.  The landing does appear to be populated by freindly people.  I am booked there for at least a year.  I look forward to following my dream of sailing the ocean.  Lots to learn.

Sailor? Georgetown? CapK ( aka Kurt)?

AT any rate, welcome aboard. I think you'll enjoy the place.

I do SO wish people would put WHAT they sail and WHERE they sail into the profile when they log on. Makes it so much more interesting ( and informative) to know what boat someone has and the general area in which they sail.

Wouldn't hurt my feelings at all to have some of the OLDER members do the same ;D

Since you asked Charlie...

I sail on a trailerable Telstar 28 folding trimaran named Pretty Gee on Buzzards Bay for the most part. 

I plan on going down to the Chesapeake later this year to visit my in-laws, so they can see the boat named for their daughter, my late wife.  I just got the boat last April, and have spent a good part of last year and will spend a good part of this year modifying the boat and setting her up to be a fairly capable LD cruiser for a relatively small boat. 

I've posted one video, from the last sail of last season, on YouTube, and you can see it here.

Fiddlersgreen-  Welcome to sailfar.net.  What do you sail and where do you sail her??

[CharlieJ]

lol- yeah- I KNEW you sailed a tri- I'm an old multihuller myself ( take that either way ;D) Built and sailed a Cross 35, lived aboard for a while, cruised full time for a while.. Can't wait to get back to that.

But you should put the boat in your avatar or signature line- so someone reading your posts will know what boat you are talking about. Makes understanding posts easier sometimes.

Will do.. ;)

Hello, I'm Gus (short for Gustavo) I own a 76 Chrysler 22. I found this website in a post signature in TSBB. I have been reading this board for about a month as a guest. I live in North Carolina for most of the time. From time to time the Army sends me somewhere else. I'm a combat photographer in a Reserve unit in Wilson, North Carolina. Well, nothing else that I can think of right now, but feel free to ask.

Welcome to Sailfar.net.  What do you do other than combat photography??

[Gus]

Hi! I work for Time Warner Cable, but I think I'm going to quit next week. I'm not happy there, and my wife its ok with it.

[Gus]

Thanks! So far I have 'boat repairs' adventures :)

This weekend some rebedding.   And I'm going to try and save a cockpit locker hatch with West System.

It never ends... oh well, love it or leave it. I have been posting pictures of stuff/repairs I've done to the boat in this past two/three weeks. The link is http://www.flickr.com/photos/gus_chrysler22/

Right now, I just have pictures of dirty boat where I found her and cleaner boat.   Now that I am more familiar with her, the fun begins.   Check pix out at www.toddrtownsend.net, and click on photoalbums.   "In A Mist" is her name.  I'll have some repair pictures up soon. 

I love the Depthfinder Mount, a nice solution.   Good Work!
