I grew up spending the summers at our family's lake house, where boating was an everyday occurrence. We had a speed boat, while my best friend had a 36’ sail boat (San Francisco Bay). I love both activities and looking to do more. Life and work has kept me from enjoying this activity. I have done well in the business world and now I am semi-retired. I want to rediscover my long-time passion. I know the basics, willing to learn and help out. Nice, normal, sane guy here and recently single. I am the middle child so I enjoy the company of both younger and older.
