Welcome to the boards. I am new as well and also an east coaster. We cruise the Chesapeak, C&D, Sasafrass and the bays of Delaware. I am sure you will enjoy the boards as much as I do. I can spend hours looking at the projects done by others. Great information and a great bunch of guys. I have visited many other boards, all good, but this one being Parker specific is the best. Post any question and you will get a multitude of ideas and answers. 8)
