a little about us. my name is Kirby i am 29yr old my fiancé Millee also 29* have been sailing a training boat ( c22) out of pcola for the past few years. I have been sailing lakes, rivers in the northwest since I was 17.. so not very long for all the old salts. millee and i met in comm dive school out of seattle and have been working in the water of the gulf of mexico for the last 6 years being both professional divers we love and live water.
what I hope to gain as being part of the west sail family is information, wisdom, and encouragement. I'm sure through the many decades of west sail owners here i can make smarter choices about boat maintenance, improvements, and hopefully find some nice places to drop a hook for the night.
Cheers,
Kirby Galassi
W32 Penguin
