Personal Information:
I bought my first boat, a Pearson Triton sailboat in 1978 when I was a member
of the Toms River Yacht Club in Toms River, New Jersey. For several years I
sailed and raced in Barnegat Bay and also competed twice in the BVI Spring
Regatta in Tortola, British Virgin Islands.
In the mid 1980's, we purchased property on Swan's Island Maine, and I began
exploring the magnificent coast of Maine by chartering several times from
Hinckley Yacht Charters and others and then in our own boats.
In the mid 1990's, my wife and I purchased a Hatteras Long Range Cruiser
which we lived aboard for six months at a time for a period of seven years
during which we completed six trips on the Inter-Coastal Waterway and crossed
the Gulf Stream six times going to and from the Bahama Islands. Our travels took
us from the Chesapeake Bay to Tarpon Springs, Florida and out to the Dry
Tortugas. We also covered most of the Bahama chain from Grand Bahama Island down
to the Exumas and out to Cat Island, Little San Salvador, Eleuthera and the
Abacos. |
