Finally membered up

[jbabs]

As a long time lurker/reader figured it was about time to man up and officially join in as a member. This forum provided a wealth of information as we prepared for and completed our Great Loop voyage. Now in the process of selling our current boat, liquidating other hard assets and starting the search for a larger liveaboard boat to continue the cruising lifestyle.

Welcome. As a seasoned boater, you no doubt have wisdom and opinions to share. The more, the merrier. Cheers.

You've been aboard for a while, it seems. Welcome into the light. We have rum.
Pictures and memories from your loop would be awesome.
What are / will be your cruising area / home port?
Good luck on your search for another boat.
