Ok. I'm:

Frank Maier from Everett, WA, a bit north of Seattle and a bit south of
Ole Thom. I post occasionally; but I mostly lurk.

No sailboat at present. Former owner of various keelboats and planning
to buy something around 40 feet in the next couple of years for family
cruising/homeschooling around the Caribbean. Retired in 95. Two kids,
currently 10 and 12.

Welcome back Frank. You've posted some good stuff in the past.

What kind of boat are you thinking of getting?

My kids are currently 15 and 18, and it is very difficult to get them to go
sailing. Get your boat ASAP if you want to have them involved.


Regards


Donal
