Hello to everybody! My name is Lance Snider and I have been lurking around this great site for awhile.I am a 48 year old novice sailer who messes with an O'Day 23 called CLOUD NINE. I am lucky(nothing Ive done)to have a boat babe wife named Bianca. We usually sail in the Sarasota/Tampa Bay area. My wife actually reminds me everytime we sail,"Lance we have got to get a bigger boat". Thats a dream wife! I just wanted to thank every one who answers questions on this site. I have lurked and learned. I would especially like to thank Ross in Maryland. Thanks Ross for taking the time to give well thought out and well explained opinons to questions. Your time investment is appreciated and magnified when people share info learned with others. I hope to cross paths with all of you sometime. Happy Thanksgiving! LANCE AND BIANCA ON CLOUD NINE
