    This young lady is a gem🤠 I am an over the hill very old dude here in Dallas with experience and knowledge, so my advice to young men with their acts and lives for the future100% together, wake up and go find her and give it your best shot! Seriously, you will not find better! I cannot fathom how this wonderful woman is single. Guess I am just old school.😎

    It’s quite common in Australia to say ‘see ya later’ even if we’ve only just met you and no plans to see you again, with a small population it’s not unusual to see a person again in another state even years later. Seeing the cruise ship lit up in the middle of nowhere, at night, what a sight!!

    Rail's in the water, need to reef! You'd be puzzled, intrigued, and quite surprised if you got a set of polar charts for your boat. You'll find that very very few sail masters can move a boat as quickly--and in the right direction--as following the polar charts for a boat.

    Hi Lauren; I'm an older sailer of ships lately; but sailboats since the 70's. Missing the ocean and lost years enjoying being out for enjoyment so I'm bored on land and looking at purchasing to do what you are. How long have you been sailing and did you get your boat then have training aboard your own boat when you bought it? You seem to know all the equipment updated that's important. Looking forward to learning from you and others.. Thanks for sharing.. Darla Jean Ret.Merchant mariner..🐞

    Lauren, when you were raising your anchor, it looked to me like your windlass was loose. I saw it shift back and forth. I would assume you know about it already, but thought I'd mention it. Can't tell what it's mounted on. Maybe it's fine, but it would suck to have that pop off.

Me encanta tu manejo de la embarcacion y la intimidad del proceso. El mar no estaba lo mas calmo y el verlo a veces me preocupa tu seguridad pero se que lo tenes en cuenta siempre.
