I have been looking for the video "Wind" in the video stores, but nobody carries it.

I can only hope and pray that SOMEONE in Hollywood was watching the Americas Cup and makes a film about it.

I am a hack on the acustic guitar, ex-surfer (I still keep a surfboard, just dont use it much), and avid boater. Can you consider drinking beer a hobby? I love the micro-brews, and have dabbled, mostly unsuccesfuly, in home brewing.

I am a late-comer to the sailing scene. I started when I was about 33 years old (I am 40 now). What can I say, I was invited out to the Thursday night races, and never left.

My experience has been mostly on J24s, but enjoy sailing on all types of boats.

I own a "vintage" J-24, Silver Streak, and sail out of the Bradenton Yacht Club. My wife and I like to cruise localy, but I race regularly in the weekly races out of the BYC. I also like to sail as crew on other people's boats.

I am always looking for fun people to race with or meet up with. In fact, I would love to do a little more "raft up" type of events this fall in the Tampa Bay-ish area.

Drop me a line if you want to come out and see what it is like, or if you are planning a raft up!
