AVYC Member: Capt. Mike I didn't think of myself as a skipper or captain until I made my last solo cruise. I have heard that the act of simply casting off your dock lines and returning safely to secure them again makes a sailor. You can acquire credentials through the Coast Guard, but becoming captain requires that you obtain real experience on the open water. That is how I make my claim of being captain. I've been sailing since I was twelve. Thus, I have become adept at handling a boat and meeting the basic criteria as a sailor of both powered and sailing vessels. In November, I cast off on a four day voyage in my twenty-three foot sloop to journey from Washington, NC to Ocracoke Island, NC. The course required navigating across the Pamlico Sound, negotiating a channel into an unknown harbor and making the return trip. I did this with an old chart and a compass. The voyage was completed safely without a VHF radio, no GPS, no autopilot or other electronic wizardry only the basic USCG equipment and adequate provisions. I want labor through all of the particulars and some may see this as a minor feat. However, those that have made such a voyage will understand the sense of accomplishment that follows such an adventure and realizing that there is more to being a captain than handling a boat. It is a feeling of pride that comes from realizing that you have joined a speci! al group known as mariners. Those of us that challenge the open water with an eye on the horizon and a hand upon the tiller. I don't intend to cast disparity upon the lake bound. You may have a way to make your claim. You should make the journey because it is all about attitude and adventure. __________________________________________________________________ Thanks Captain. It's great to have you on-board!
AVYC Member: Jimmy First, I am glad to hear from you. My wife Ann and I are both retired and live on Lake Sinclair in Putnam County Ga. It is about 15,000 acre's with 500 miles shoreline. We also have a small place on the coast below Savannah. We enjoy fishing the lake but we like offshore fishing the Atlantic the best. I hold a Coast Guard License. We have a 20' dual console with outboard that we use for the lake and inshore fishing and a 25' cabin with dual I/O that we use offshore fishing and just crusing. I found your web when looking for a printable calander several years age. Even thought I had not heard from you for sometime I continued to check your web site. I enjoy reading what other boaters are doing. I think that boater safety education and boat handling and rules of the road education are much needed on our waters. We do not need more rules, just learn and enforce those existing. You have great web site and continue the good work. Captn.

AVYC Member: Jim Jim: Sorry to hear about your Mom. Lost my Mom 3 yrs ago, tough road. I have a 34ft Morgan and ply Lake Michigan, April-Oct. Then I ice skate.

AVYC Member: Joe I live in the Mid-Hudson Valley of New York and do most of my boating on the Hudson.River. For those of you that have never done the Hudson you are missing the best kept secrets about NY. It is a must. We have a 20' Forewinns C/C right now but are we are selling her and looking for something bigger. In the 26 - 28' range. I spend most of my day at work on the water also. I work of the Army Corp of Engineers in NY and oversee most of the dredging operations in New York Harbor, Long Island and New Jersey Federal Waterways. It's a Great job. I get to do what I love (be on the water) and get paid for it. The down side is that most of the dredging is done in the winter. But the way I look at it a bad day on the water is better than a good day in the office! December 14, 2003 at 06:51:47
AVYC Member: Bob Have been boating on Lake Erie, Inland Lakes and Rivers, along with the East Coast and ICW and Gulf of Mexico for the past 50+ years, and am still enjoying it VERY much. I have also done a little boating in Europe. My favorite place is Georgian Bay. I have a Baha Cruisers Sportfisher and a Grumman Center Console that is trailerable, and is just right for exploring ALL those beautiful Canadian lakes. (which we do every summer). I also have a 10.5 ft. Achilles with a 9.9 h.p. Merc. that goes nicely into the trunk of the car when we are traveling to areas where we've never been before. Most places usually have some type of water that can be explored, and we have had grrrrreat times doing that. Keep up the good work with AVYC!

AVYC Member: Jim and Debbie First, and above all, our condolences. It's a voyage we all must take. Both Debbie and I have been where you are and understand the way it is for those of us left behind. We were unsure if we should continue with the rest of the page after entering our E mail (computers and I have been at war for a while) and decided to err on the side of safety as we insist on continuing with the club. In January we will lay the keel for a Bruce Roberts Offshore 44 (plans in hand, but will probably skip the virgin sacrifice). Pictures and prose to follow. Our best wishes for a peaceful Holiday. Jim and Debbie December 14, 2003 at 04:46:12 ______________________________________________________________________ Well, I'm sure glad you continued. Thanks for the kind word.

AVYC Member: Norm(Member Update) I have cruised Florida, the keys and the Bahamas for three to four months in the winter for approximately 12 trips most of that time I had a 1982 Freedom 25 cat sloop with an outboard engine. I now have a 1976 Albin 25 trawler with sail. It is the perfect vessel for the shallow waters in the area that I cruise. I wish I had this boat from the start. My wife and I both love to travel by water and injoy the million dollar view when ever we drop the hook. I store it on a trailer on the east coast of Florida in the Ft. Pierce area. I keep a heavy tarp over it through the summer when I return to my home is in Colorado. December 03, 2003 at 08:40:08

AVYC Member: Jim and Debbie (Member Update) With the holidays upon us, thought we would post a note wishing all a joyous and safe Christmastide. We safely completed our first season on the Gulf and are already planning for further explorations when we get the hull wet again in January. Anyone with a trailer boat who spends their time as I did on the lakes of the interior owes it to themself to plan a vacation to the blue water. With a little careful planning even a small craft like our Catalina 22 can venture out where the dolphin play. We have, and it was the highlight of a season filled with highlights (including one memorable night we dallied late and returned to port by the dark of the moon, playing tag with the barrier islands trusting in our GPS and my wife's sense of direction to put us past the breakwater slam on target).

AVYC Member: Debbie and Jim I'm from the Great Lakes region of New York State. I came south in 98 to have the opportunity to sail year round. I left a 43' George Buehler schooner behind that needed the deck and house finished before it could be transported. Before I could finish and move it a tree undid sixteen months of work by falling amidships in an ice storm. Now my wife Debbie (who I met and married here in south Mississippi) sail a 22 Catalina out of Ocean Springs, Mississippi. We are in the process of selecting a retirement boat and have narrowed the choices to an Alden Malabar II, Angleman's Sea Witch, or back to Buehler's schooner. Plan to decide and lay the keel in January of 04. That gives us six years to complete construction. In the mean time we will sail the Gulf for fun in our plastic boat and cast envious glances at the not infrequent meetings with the truly beautiful wooden craft we meet. ______________________________________________________________________ Folks this is what our club is all about! Debbie and Jim have their dreams but the important thing is to be near the water. Soon and very soon someone will be looking at a great sailing vessel and planning the day when thay will match it. Debbie and Jim will be at the helm. But through it all they never lost the connection with the water. What more is there to say?! Capt. Jim

AVYC Member: Tim I own a Zodiac style Inflatable Boat (not a raft). I got it due to my involvement as a K-9 Search and Rescue specialist. My dog and I find missing and lost people in the woods, urban, disaster (9-11-01) and drowned victims. We love this little boat and have fun and serious moments with it. Next summer is our "Adventure 2004". My son and I will navigate the Susquehanna from east of Binghamton New York down to the Chesipeak Bay. We have navigated the Cownesque,Tioga, Pine Creek, Cohoton, Chemung and Canisteo rivers locally and the West branch of the Susquehanna in central PA. We usually use the paddles and sometimes for time and safety sake we use a electric motor. I saw a few of the stories on your website and thought it was interesting and want to check it all out.

AVYC Member: Mike The Wind-Up-Toy (our Kells 23 sailboat) is tied up at Broad Creek Marina. This is next door to McCotter's Marina for those that might know this establishment. Broad Creek is on the North side of the Pamlico River near Washington, North Carolina. It is some of the best sailing that can be found. The access that this area offers is its greatest appeal. We are 30 miles from the Ditch (ICW), sixty miles from Ocracoke and the Atlantic. We enjoy it here for its accessibility. We can go out for a day sail on Blount's Bay, take an overnight cruise to Bath, NC or venture forth into the great wide watery world. Tuesday, August 26, 2003 at 06:18:31

My 1993 Bayliner 2655 has taken my wife Susan and I up and down the Illinois River and with all the boating knowledge that I have learned from the Power Squadron courses that I have taken, they have been all very safe even when a disaster of some sorts has tried to ruin our cruise. Safe boating everyone! Thursday, July 17, 2003 at 11:37:56
