Smile Hello to everybody!

Hi I'm new here and just thought I would say hi to everyone. I don't own a boat as of yet but was hoping to make a better decision based on the information here. I'm based in the Toronto area in Ontario. I hope to get to know people here a little better as people on this site seem generally nice.

Don't let first impressions fool you!

Kidding, anyway, welcome to the site, there is a _lot_ to read, most of it is useful (stay away from the AFOC thread though until you have gotten everything useful done).

Phreak,
Welcome to Sailnet. You'll find this to be a great site with a lot of good people sharing a lot of good information. There's a lot of humor here also.

Although I haven't sailed yet I hope to take lessons this summer. The possibility of a new job makes me finally capable of getting my first boat. I almost can't bear the wait until summer.
