[C320-list] Ride Sharing and Cheesehead banter

Another displaced Cheesehead!

After graduating from UW - Madison, I tried to stay in the area but the job 
picture was bleak. (80's)

I eventually ended up here in Maryland, and while I loved living in 
Wisconsin, the winters were killer...

I get an 8 month sailing season  (could be more if I was brave), and winter 
temps that are moderate.


To stay on topic, I also welcome any Catalina 320 owners who are visiting 
the greater Baltimore area (Washington is a stretch...).  My only 
requirement is You do need to be tolerant of kids, as at least one of them 
comes with the package.  They usually occupy themselves but are constantly 
asking for food.  There are worse things!

Hi Pat,

Moved here 3 1/2 years ago to run the electrical portion of the
D-Gates expansion project at the airport.  Running the new terminal project
now.  The Company moved my boat as part of my "incentive" package.  Not
going back.  It might get a bit warm here but I can sail and ride motorcycle
all year long.  Look me up if your in town.
