Hello from Orlando

Post by david in FL »

New to the forum. The admiral and I are former sailers looking to get back on the water after a bit of an absence from boat ownership. We're looking for something for weekend cruising and light fishing. Having spent some time on them, we've always appreciated the quality, form, and function of the Albins so that's where we're starting. We're leaning towards a 28TE, but time will tell.

Probably a mistake to have come here because from what I've seen so far, I don't think many of you are going to talk us off the ledge. The two happiest days.....

I'm sure we'll have some questions moving forward, so thanks in advance for any insight that you can offer.

Off the ledge? No way! We'll be yelling "Jump!"

Glad to have you aboard, I'm sure you'll find lots of useful information as you start your hunt.

With all that great Flor. and Gulf and Alantic waters and your past experience just go for it. My son recently moved back from Tampa to Sacramento, Calf. My wife Pat and i loved it here in the winter and cooler times.
Enjoy the ocean breeze of your coastal waters & welcome. Let us all know your progress. Lots of great boats in your area on Yachtworld.
