About Me
Sailing must be in my blood. My father sailed as a youth and an older brother loved to sail. Another brother and sister have boats and enjoy their time on the water or even tied up at their marina.
We look forward to joining the fun-loving people of the boating community.
Sailing Experience
Diana and I are looking forward to spending great times together with old and new friends on our new Hylas 49. We’ve named her “Its Only Money” because “You Can’t Take It With You” was too long.
