ABOUT ME
I have been working hard lately to atone for an early life of goofing off! Some random nonsensical facts about myself- When I was about 10 my family bought a Sunfish with Yellow trading stamps. I once rode a single speed bike from Harry's Bar at Purdue University to Dallas Texas in ten days to win a 100 dollar bar bet. This last Tuesday I bought an O'Day daysailer 2 on a trailer for roadtrips. My wife is pretty, a good sailor and does not panic in bad weather. I think about sail boats alot. (It is a pleasant addiction) If I had the time, I would build a BIG shallow draft catamaran for my favorite skinny water in S.W. Florida. It would be about a 50 footer with a beam around 30. The centerboard would be between the hulls hinged under the mast so it could fold back in a grounding. The boat would be so simple that it would really be more of a high tech raft. The aux.propulsion would be 2 four stroke jet skis. The skis would plug into the aft end of each hull.When the boat was under sail, your friends could unplug the skis and go exploring or make a rum run. To keep windage and cg low I would have no cabin on the bridge just a large dome tent and figure someway to have a small fire pit.

Lance, thanks for the invite to this site. I like your catamaran idea. I think my ideal boat would be a trawler. Of course I have not actually sailed my sailboat yet, maybe I will change my mind once I do that next spring.

The price seems pretty good too. It's too bad that I am not in the market right now. But, it did open my eyes to a boat I would not have considered before.

Are you back in FL yet? We a planning a raft up at beer can island up by appollo beach. Would love to see you there.

Lance, I was not all that impressed with the offerings. The best new boat was the Hanse 43. Awesome boat. Would have one in a minute, but at 200k, it's a little outta my range.

My favorite boat was a brokerage boat brought by Edwards Yacht sales. It was a 47 Vagabond for only 139000. It was the belle of the ball in my eyes. That is the style of boat that I like, lots of teak, full keel, and a ton of room down below.
I had to go on it and look at it twice. You can see pics of it on their website. She's a beauty.

Lance, I am going to be sailing in your neck of the woods tomorrow. I am picking up my boat at the Sarasota Sailing Squardron and heading up the ICW. I will probably spend the night on the hook in Anna Maria. Then on to the boat show in St. Pete.

Hello Ross- How are ya? I REALLY wish I was sailing this weekend, but I am not. Don't know if you recall, but about late summer my business was hit by a freak flood- it was over four feet deep in the building. The clean up was much longer and intense than we expected and is just finishing up. As of late I have become a pale faced janitor kind of a guy-more in tune with a mop handle than a wisker pole- I've been a dullard of a sailor who has maintained sanity by reading your, Bonafide's, Danny's, Jeff's, Rumhead's and others posts. Thankyou. I should be back to normal routine late this month. Bianca and I would always be up for any get together and look forward to it. We will give you a shout shortly. Have a good weekend.



I remember about the flood, I just thought that you were done with that. I wish you were closer, I would muster up some help for you.

We look forward to having you back "home".  Give me a call, send me a note and we will get together.
