I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

This area is not big enough! Okay, here is a little about the "Happy Sailor". I only feel free and alive when I am offshore sailing or above the clouds flying. LOL! Looks like I should get myself a seaplane,then I could have both worlds. To me life without adventure is not living it is just boring. We all need to remember this: "Attitude is the differance between adventure and ordeal" (so says Bob B. and me too!) Thanks to a long time friend, I found the love of my life!! My Rebecca Ann. My firstmate, my co-pilot in life. It seems mother ocean is calling me home! I think some canvas time will do wonders for the soul. Time to go sailing again! Have to thanks my ex for that first Mexico trip, now I just have to go again!

My pirate name is: Iron William Flint A pirate's life isn't easy; it takes a tough person. That's okay with you, though, since you a tough person. Like the rock flint, you're hard and sharp. But, also like flint, you're easily chipped, and sparky. Arr! Get your own pirate name from piratequiz.com.
