Bluefuss the new boy!

Hello to all. I live and work in western Canada, all parts! I have sailed dinghy's a lot as a young man, a bit of time on a 40 footer on Lake Ontario and a bunch of weerkend racing last winter in Nanaimo BC. I have wanted to live aboard and cruise most of my life, and have spent years doing it thru magazines and the net!Haha. WELL I"M ALMOST THERE!!! I looked at a Tayana 37 a couple of days ago and I will make an offer (as soon as the brokers holidays r over. Whats this Xmas thing all about anyway?) If the deal works I will sail her off the coast of BC for a year or so and then start a nice slow cruise to any place on this damn planet I choose. lol.
So I've spent years researching forums, web sites etc. and know the Tayana 37 has the potential to make me happy. There r others I like as well but they all seem to be something like the Tayana or Crealock, Hans Christian etc. I love a well looked after classic. Used to own a 58 corvette and would never have settled for something new, just never turned me on.
Ok enough of me , u know what I'm looking at, (with a mixture of absolute bliss and lots of trepidation.) I know u have the wisdom, can I please hear some?

Welcome Bluefuss... you're off to a good start. Throw out the new.. bring in the old!

Where'd you get that name?

The name actually belongs to my favorite horse, and very dear freind, Bluefuss the Dufuss. Haha

Welcome... once you start cruising here you may not be in a hurry to leave the BC coast... years worth of cruising before needing to venture further afield!
