My name is Steve and I live in Melbourne, Fl. I am a pror boat owner and have sailed for many years. I am 29 years old and have a passion for sailing. I would love nothing more then to be out on the water charting a course. I am honest and modest, knowlegeable and incredibly loyal. If you are planning a trip and could use some extra help or just someone to tag along to keep company, please allow me an opportunity. Keep in touch.

I live in south florida, the largest cruise port in the U.S. I’m sure there are a few cabins vacant the day of sailing which the cruise lines would like to fill. I’m willing to pack and sail for a deep discount. How do I obtain this info?

Is it possible to live on a boat sailing the seas?

Thursday, August 20th, 2009
Inoku asked:


Is it possible to live on a boat sailing the seas eating what I catch? If it possible, what would I do for drinks and what is the likely hood of dying due to a whirlpool, hurricane or whale ramming the boat? I’m not sea/boat-smart but lately I’ve been wanting to do such a thing and I just want to know if it’s a decent idea or a horrible idea.

People with experience or people who know anything about this please let me know because I don’t want to start something and then end up regretting it later.
Oh, and I’ve recently been hearing about pirates attacking ships and such on the news? Is it likely that I will encounter a pirate if I do this?
Also, this is not a joke I am 100% serious. It’s something I’ve been wanting to do for a while.

What is this part of a wooden sailing ship called?

Sunday, August 16th, 2009
Apollo asked:


I’m going to try to explain this the best I can.
Lately I have been writing a novel that involves a wooden sailing ship. What I need to know is what the part that holds the hatch to the lower deck is called. Like, where the deck dips slightly, right behind that. This information would be a lot of help.
