BOATS

We have a 1979 Oday 25, her name is Lola. We keep her on a trailer at Apollo Beach. So, most of our sailing is in Tampa Bay, with ocassional jaunts into the gulf. But we are always up for a good raft up.

HOBBIES

Sailing and chasing after our teenagers.

The photo that you are using for you avatar, I have one exactly like it. I had to look to see if it was my boat.

Welcome to sailmonster.

Ross

I took the picture when I was taking my basic sailing courses done in St. Petersberg! Wish I was near the water... I'm in NM. Have a great day!

How's the sailing up in your neck of the woods? We have never sailed up there. Being a true trailor sailor, my wife MamaKay, and I have discussed trailering north this year. We normally trailer south to the keys. Being able to "highway sail" at 65 mph has it's distinct advantages to covering new sailing grounds in the span of a work vacation.

Anyway, let us all know if there is anything that you would like to see in our little corner of the web. We are rapidly growing and appreciate all the input and content contributions that our members can offer.

Well, Im sure there isnt as much to see up here as there is down in the keys. I'll admit that I havent done much sailing around here. I have a small 23' O'day Tempest thats been on the hard for the past 5 years. She needs a bit of work, but Im trying to accomplish several projects at once, and she's been a bit neglected. (I know, shame on me) Good runs though, constant offshore breeze... My main reason for hopping on this, is just to enjoy the company of other sailors. Looking for Kindred spirits so to speak. Hope you have a Great 2009!! Fair winds!!! Chris
