I was glad to find this forum. I enjoy single handling.

Im retired navy, currently doing sonar research in Hawaii. I spent 12 years sailing in the PACNORWEST between Seattle and Port Hardy. I did 99.9% alone on a Ranger 23'.
I grew out of the 23' after getting married so we doubled the length to a 46'. We spent last year getting her ocean ready and sailing it from Wilmington NC to Galveston. I am shipping it to Point Richmond and plan to upgrade her over the winter.
Ive had a long term goal to do a single handle TransPAC. The boat and I need some work and modifications to get us both ready. I have learned some things already from this forum and I appreciate a bit of advice. I have sailed a few times out of the Presidio yacht club when I was in Mare Island for a few months. I look forward to learning more about the bay and beyond. I have little interest in circumnavigating but rather spend time between Hawaii, Victoria BC and San Francisco.
I look forward to being a member of your board.
Nick
