Hello I'm Dana from Pell City, AL. I own the Halcyon, a Victoria 18 located in Guntersville, AL. I have owned the sailboat for many years. I am looking for someone local with sailing experience to help me learn my boat and how to sail it alone. Would love to learn from other Victoria owners. Look forward to meeting everyone.

Welcome to the forum...some good info here if you look around for it. Am also getting into single-handing my Irwin, for me it is just getting used to a larger boat. The first thing you need to learn is to 'Hove to' once you have mastered that...the rest will come natural! Good luck with your lessons.

dawn.. literally.. all over.. currently in NC next week should find me at farm in Oklahoma and then southern to northern.. CA.. within next few months.. Singapore.. looking for my first sailboat.. looking at 27-40' range rigged for single hand /solo sailing capable.. tons of varying watercraft powerboats small fishing to 30 plus foot ski, wake boarding, ocean cruising/off shore deep sea fishing.. white water kayaking.. jet skis etc.. fresh to salt, lake, river and sea experience..

I find it rather complicated to explain me.. so
I was conceived in Palm Springs, Ca.. (my father, a famous Trumpet player, international jazz musician from Singapore .. met and married my mother who was singing with a group that opened dot The Monkees.. she didn't want to go on European leg of my dads tour.. so she went back to her home state of NC.. where she pursed/followed her other loves.. passions.. Horses, Medicine.. to much to list.. but horses where a huge part of my life still are..) mom was in middle of week plus horse show.. showed day I was born.. and returned day after.. I won first horse show at age 2, was breaking, training riding bush track races by age 8.. grew up 48 states (horse, race horses) Singapore when first met my father lived there for over a year in early 80's.. went to over 30+ schools k-12 and skipped 2.5 grades.. WITH all the constant moving, change etc.. I spent the majority of my life in the horse industry.. but have done everything from but not limited to.. ; framing houses, flooring, to BLET, EMS, ASE certified mechanic.. to singing songwriting.. drawing, writing, painting etc. I have an immense love as well as respect for knowledge / learning preferably hands on.. I say all this bc I am adventurous STILL .. I will try/do anything.. (never "half-a**) I believe anything doing.. is worth doing right.. I also believe in common sense and thorough preparedness.. and then some. I kinda take most things to the extreme.. lol all that being said.. I plan on sailing anywhere, everywhere I possibly can as my knowledge, ability and experience grows.. guess you can see I get wordy too.. so Hi all! I look forward to meeting, make friends/acquaintances even if at first only cyber-ly.. who live love breath sailing! learning and enjoying great stories / yarns! if u wanna know more about me.. I'm not shy.. nor easily offended.. Ask. u can also find me on the net.. google search: dawn Bigelow singer songwriter .. and or dawnssong4u .. that's me.. And invictusboodstock is work / horses
till then. all my best to all, always, dawn Bigelow aka dawnssong4u
