As my Forum name implies I was a boater (recreationally/professionally), for nearly 35 years. We owned, raced and cruised sailboats for 30 years. Our last sailboat was a 1977 Cal 34 MkIII which I cruised extensively in Mexico.
They say the three stages of life for boaters are sailboat, powerboat.... and RV and we are happy to be firmly in stage three. :B Our last boat was a 1982 Ed Monk 36' trawler that we lived aboard at the Silver Gate Yacht Club in San Diego(we are now retired members of the SGYC). Alas, trying to maintain a boat from across the 430 miles separating Tucson and San Diego finally became unworkable.
Here is a shot of our Ed Monk trawler flanked by our friends Cal 34 on the right and Catalina 30 on the left, anchored/rafted up in La Playa Cove off of the San Diego Yacht Club.
We swallowed the anchor a number of years ago electing to shift gears and get into the RV world and have not looked back. Started with an A-Liner pop up, graduated to a 22' TT and now enjoy cruising/camping in our Nexus 24' Class C.
