Thumbs up SailNet newbee;

My membership is maybe measured in minutes, but I can tell already some site members have deeper unresolved issues than their boats! I'm having a ball so far....great stuff! In addition it looks like there's a wealth of info among the insanity. Nice site! Well done!

Was introduced to sailing some 15 yrs. ago by a fellow workmate and been hooked ever since. He bailed out of sailing, boat and all, and left me with the addiction! Well, after two Lazers and a small Cape Dory(which I totally restored for the next owner), I'm still looking for that perfect cruiser. I found my perfect soul mate three years ago(married for almost 1 yr.), but can't seem to find 'that boat'. Oh well, it is said that the boat will find you, not the other way around. It has only been a 7 year search...one should not rush into these things, but I have a real prospect in mind that has bitten me good! This boat could be a real diamond, but right now she's a listing lump of coal as the song says. I'm sure I will find some good advice from site members in the drop down forums(still finding my way around). Suggestions on which forum to address?

I am looking forward to enjoying SailNet in the future, it's been a blast so far!
And I've learned much already. Thanks. Bob.

Welcome to Sailnet Bob. As you've found out, it is a great site. As for pirate's suggestions, well that will be a real test of how long you've been lurking here and what you've learned. Good luck with your search.
