Novice Afourian seeking acceptance to the guild.......

Greeting oh wise and experienced Afourians !

I present myself with humility and humor as a shiny new Afourian novice for acceptance to the guild with high hopes of gaining knowledge and having fun with the minimum of mishaps unless of course they come with a humorous and useful antidote.

Ahhh the backstory you seek?
An unrepentant sailor of seas, lakes and oceans, graduate from a stinkpoting youth, a reformed diesel consumer with a smattering of Palmer one lunger experience and stories of craft ranging from the homemade dingy (Blue and wrinkled as it was) to a massive (for the young crew) Tartan 41 (Why yes, those are IOR hips) and now starting a new chapter (as the indentured crew have all launched from the nest) with a lovely C&C 29 containing a recently rebuilt Atomic Four just the right size for my sailing bride and I.

How shiny of an Afourian am I and my bride you ask?
Well, weather permitting (or be damned) we will camp aboard our new craft this coming weekend for the first overnight and will spend Saturday messing about in boats, playing with the heralded Atomic Four for the first time and getting a bit of pre-winterization sailing in before spending Sunday tucking her in for her long winters nap in the slip.

During the long lake winter, she will no doubt dream of the upgraded propane and shore power systems that she will awaken to (as long as my fingers don't drop off during the installation phase) and she will be comforted by the glimpses of the renewed cushions already being planned and patterned by the brides crafty hands....... She will sleep well our little Firefly.

But first there is exploration and new experiences for us !

What say you oh wizened (wisened?) Afourians ?

What advice have you for the shiny novice's first start up ?

I await all input with the excitement of the knowledge hungry novice which I am........

Respectfully, "CnC for me"




By the way, I don't always type that way but every now and then it is fun. Hope it made you smile. Thanks in advance for any and all thoughts and suggestions !
