New member, heading back to boating

[salamandyr]

Hi folks. Just a belated into after joining the forums a couple weeks ago.

I'm a grad student in Los Angeles, now in the sailboat-shopping phase. I grew up on the water on the east coast, but haven't sailed much at all recently.

Hopefully I'll be living / learning on a 32-35' sailboat by this summer.

I'm sure I'll have lots of questions, but I've already received a warm reception in posts and the chat, so it's nice to be here.

Welcome aboard.

Welcome. What a great time of your life to live aboard. Best of luck.

Bet LA is a change from the East Coast! I suppose it depends where on the North / South line you where on, I would like to hear what differences you find..Good Luck..Dale

I'm in Los Angeles, LSS - many fewer bluewater and fishing boats here than in New England.. plus people here leave their boats in year round!

Must be nice! Around here the water is hard & the boat is on the hard....Dale
