| 52 year old guy from Austin, TX. Starting a sabbatical. After family in Italy, I'll be looking for a sailboat. I've taken ASA 101-106 and worked on commercial fishing boats throughout college. I'm very handy mechanically. OK with electrical issues. Always keep an eye out for issues. Don't take up much space. Quick to jump in wherever needed. Best, Frank | |
