Hi from Toronto

Hi All,
I've been lurking for a while. I've slowly developed a fascination in sailing over the last couple of years. I've read a lot of books (instructional and experiences), but have only been on a yacht a handful of times.

I've signed up for a Basic Cruising (keelboat) course next month. After that i hope to gain some experience crewing locally to tide me over until buying my own. Or discover that it's not my thing in reality, and put it down to another interesting learning experience (i seriously doubt this will be it).
