Glad to be here. I have been looking at this web site probably about as long as it has been on the web. It is a very infromative site and I have referred many people to it.

I am retired USCG. I was enlisted, and officer, and a civilian engineer over my 34 years with the USCG. I spent 25 of that in Boating Safety. 20 of which was in standards working with boat builders and manufacturers to get it right. After I retired I started a web site for boat builders ( and anyone else) called New Boat Builders Home Page. newboatbuilders.com

I have been around small boats (and a few big ones) all my life, both power and sail. I have a particularly fondness for classic boats from the 50's and 60's. I have also built a few wood boats. So I hope I can make a useful contribution.

I haven't been able to create a profile yet but will as soon as I get confirmed.

Welcome Ike.
We can always use people like you with a lot of years of experience in the boating field. Especially the safety part.
Don't they say safety comes first? B)

Thanks to all of you.

How do I get the web master to let me create a profile? It still says I haven't confirmed my e-mail (which I did) and unlocked the profile.

Welcome Ike, glad to have you join us. I believe any of the moderators can confirm you, I know Ken has done some in the past. I'm sure someone will get on it ASAP. Great Info on your site, BTW.

Ike, good to see you here. Welcome.

It appears your profile is just fine... or you couldn't post. Find "my profile" at the top or on most pages and fill it out.

Great site you have there. Lots of info.

Again,
Welcome

I still can't create a profile. I can read forums, and make posts but the profile feature is still locked out.

Ike,

I sent Ken an email, and copied you on it as well.

I'm sure he'll be able to get you set up as soon as he gets his mail.
