Yes, sailing since about 10 years old, owned sailboats for 15years, up to 37'. Now, an older 340 sundancer.
Learned emptying fuel tanks, with twin big blocks, is vastly more enjoyable than filling them!
So, here was our first summer on Family Time!
More to come, happy and safe holiday to all!

Monty, welcome aboard CSR. The smiles in the pics you posted says it all. You're lucky enough to have a family that enjoys boating as much as you do.

Congratulations and Merry Christmas!

I’m well aware of that, having seen a number of boaters, both sail and power, lose their “mojo” once their partner/kids aren’t into it anymore. EXACTLY the reason I sold “MY” O’day 37 sailboat to buy “HER” 340 ‘dancer ! - happily whipped is an entirely different port than, whipped and miserable!
Thanks for all the replies everyone!
Here’s another pic from my birthday date with my “ commanding officer “!

Looks like a great first season. You can’t beat the boating area. Stop by if you see us and say hello. The boats name is Flipper. We go to the same ports as we are out of Falmouth Harbor.
 
Will do Jeremygavin! Same to you as well! Thanks!
 
Really great pics. Such happiness that most here can surely relate to. Welcome!
 
Thanks MProd and Todd320. I’ve been on CSR about a year now, and I’ve really enjoyed both the informative and the social aspects of it. Clearly, I’m a chatty nerd!
 
Welcome and might I say that is a beautiful old boat you have there!

Dvx, nope, just did shots with the wife in oak Bluffs 8/2017. She asks, “babe, you ever think about a power boat?” As you can see from the pic of that “ day of infamy”, I put my foot down and made it expressly clear that I was a SAILOR! Not a powerboater !

And then The O’day was sold 2 months later, of course. (For a tidy profit, thank you very much )
 
Beautiful boat you got there, and clearly enjoying the time aboard with your family. That is what it is all about. Here's to a great 2019 out on the water!
