Hobie

Since I moved aboard Ferrity and docked in Annapolis I've pursued my writing at coffee shops and the library.  Because I have intermittent Internet Wi-fi at the dock I looked for someone with an extra office.  After asking around for a couple months Backyard Boats Annapolis offered me a place to write.

After three years ashore, living in an apartment, the itch to sail overwhelmed fingernails and medication.  Money or the lack thereof was an issue so I set a budget of one thousand dollars with the idea that I could find a Sunfish, Laser, or similar small dinghy sailboat.

As my thoughts developed, I thought hey - I've always wanted to play with a catamaran.  Could I find a cat for $1000?

I began the quest on Craigslist.

Now you may wonder why I was so darn anxious to return to sailing.  Here's an abbreviated history of the past twenty some years.

In December 1986, I purchased my second sailboat in Annapolis, MD.  Sun Po, a Pearson 35, became my home until late 2005 when I listed her with a Honolulu broker and flew back to the mainland.
