Hi there

Hi, my name's Justin. I'm 27, single father of 2 girls, both 7, not twins. I live in Philadelphia Suburbs. I was searching casually for a sail boat for about 2 years, then after a couple trips on my buddy's 40' sportfisher I was casually leaning towards one of those. Then I just happened to see a couple pretty sail boats well out of my price range and I'm back.

I plan to start with the east coast, up and down, weekend trips here and there, I get 3 weeks of vacation a year, so i'm wanting to shoot for that as well.

This may seem a little ambitious, but here's my thing. I love being on the water. I love the water. I love the peace and quiet and no people and no society. I like being alone for extended periods, especially if I can lay out on the deck and fish, sun bathe, or what ever. I have an extremely high stress life, and without being able to unwind it's taking it's toll on me. Taking the sportfisher out was fantastic, however limited range and high fuel costs, plus absolutely relying on a motor, the appeal isn't all there.

So, I'll continue to read, learn, and hopefully make the plunge soon.
