This section of the web site covers my nearly life long interest and
participation in sailing. I have grouped this section into the menu
list shown on the left.
My Previous Boats:
Sarah is my third boat. Not that many for over 35 years of boat
ownership. Each boat was a step along the path of gaining more
experience, confidence, and ambition for sailing adventures.
Chesapeake Bay: Most of my personal sailing experience has been on the Chesapeake Bay and I
have documented many of my favorite cruising destinations under the
Chesapeake Bay menu item on the left.
Intra-Coastal Waterway:
Although I have no ambition to become a regular "Snowbird" on the ICW I have
made several trips down a portion of that waterway. The
Intra-Coastal Waterway menu selection provides
pictures and description of my latest trip on the ICW, from the Chesapeake
Bay to Fort Pierce, FL in 2004.
Bermuda is the most popular off-shore sailing destination for sailors on the
East Coast of the USA. I have documented my five trips to
Bermuda under that menu item.
Atlantic Circle:
Recently (2007) I completed an Atlantic Circle Cruise from the USA to Europe
and return. This cruise lasted three years and is documented under the
Atlantic Circle menu item.
My Friends' Boats:
Most of my friends are sailors and own sailboats. I've included
pictures of many of these boats under My Friends'
Boats.
More Boats:
I've also included pictures of other boats, owners unknown, in the
More Boats section.
Tools & Techniques:
Over the years I've developed or stolen a lot of tools and techniques that I
use when cruising on Sarah. I've documented some of these under
Tools & Techniques.
Weather Stuff:
I spent over 7 years in the U.S. Air Force, initially as a weather
forecaster later as a computer programmer for a weather communications
network. Sailing has helped me maintain a lifelong interest in this
subject and I've included some of that interest under
Weather Stuff.
Capt. Lou Kenedy: Finally Lou Kenedy was probably the most interesting and unique sailor I've
ever met. Under the Capt. Lou Kenedy menu is copy
of a four part Saturday Evening Post Magazine article on Lou's life, written
in the 1950s.
