New Guy checking in.* Been following these forums for some time and have found them very enlightening.* Looking forward to joining the conversations.
A little about me.* Active duty USN Captain.* Been in 26 years.* Not sure about retirement, but the Navy kicks me to the curb in 4 years anyhow.* Had command of USS TICONDEROGA (CG 47) 2002 - 2004 and Destroyer Squadron 14 2008 - 2009.* Just finished up my 100 Ton Near Coastal License and am waiting for the USCG to send my credential, and to see how much if any credit they give me for my USN time.
My wife and I made the switch from sail to power last year, and have been living aboard since December on our Jefferson 46.* Loving every minute of it.* Just work wasn't getting in the way.* We are planning on cruising after I retire.* Maybe the Loop, but definitely planning to head north to New England and the Chesapeake Bay in the summers, and spending the winters in FL and the Bahamas.* Mostly coastal cruising as I've stood enough mid-watches to last a lifetime already.
We got the boat cheap and it needs a ton of work, so looking forward to more of the cheap and great advice given here.
Update: Would help if I signed this...* I'm Glenn, and CINC-HOME is Kathy.
