Well heck yeah! No one regrets on their death bed, knowing to many people!

I should be heading there today (Friday). Looking at the types of boats and sizes i am going to buy when i get back to Hawaii in JAN. I bought my boat brand new and had it shipped to Hawaii, where i made several videos on youtube. Now i am retiring from the military, and heading back there for a sec...

In the next couple of days, i plan on adding 8 inch diameter schedule 80 pipe along the length of the port side seat storage. I will run a fill port into it with a vent up next to the fill port. It will be higher at the bow end, than the stern end. I will suck the water from the lower stern end of t...

Getting ready to head down to Key West. My wife and I, along with a couple of friends, will be leaving Washington D.C. on 2 July 2016. Our intent is to launch the boat at the Navy Base there. Then we will head over to Conch Marina and hang out there for a couple of days in order to hit the Tiki Bars...

I left Hawaii one year ago and brought my boat with me to Washington D.C. There is another guy there who has a blue hull (Much slower) on Kaneohe MCB who helped me set everything up. He is on the forum every now and then. Here is a link to his profile: http://www.macgregorsailors.com/forum/memberlis...

Thanks sumner!!! I will research those other locations. I am looking for options, and the probability that goes with them. Being in the military for the last 18 years, i am a "Options" kind of thinker. I want only what is feasible and probabilities associated with them. You have given that...

Thanks Kas, we will certainly consider the advice! I understand that there is a huge difference between my sailing the Hawaiian Islands in the Pacific and the choppy waters of the Atlantic, each with its own personality. We sure miss the waters of the Pacific, and feel the only way we can see it her...

Hey guys, Thanks for the replies. I told my wife that if we get down there and have to wait longer than two days for a weather window, we will just cruise the Keys. We are wanting to try out a little bit of the cruising life because we want to buy a Lagoon 380-450 in the next couple of years to crui...

Maybe we should just go to the Keys due to the short amount of time

My wife brought up the idea of going to the Bahamas, with the kids (two boys 7/9) during the Christmas break while school is out plus a couple of extra days. We will have about 18'ish days to drive from northern Virginia to Florida, wait for a window (Unknown about December weather), and go as far a...

I would encourage heading out of Pass Christian. Long Beach is a btter harbor though. Not nearly as many shrimp boats. Man i sure miss home!!!!! The Cat is a great place. If you stay at Ship Island, you will need to stay on the north side for sleeping in calm. If you stay in that brown (river water)...

I am from Long Beach, but not there now. I grew up on the bayous there. We would ride down our bayou, out through the Bay of St. Louis, on to Cat Island for fishing a lot. I encourage you to go to the west side of Cat island and anchor in smugglers cove. It is protected. We would go there when a sto...

I keep my boat at Fort Belvoir, VA
