Okie transplant...

[perfor8]

Howdy and welcome. Many transplants get a “leave your politics at the door” but I reckon your’s will be fine considering a map shows Oklahoma as completely red. The advice that be offered by some is leave the 2.3 at the border.

Good luck on the ocean stuff and I look forward to living vicariously through you in that endeavor.

If any issue is taken with my politics it'll be the younger crowd thinkin I'm too hard-assed about taking this liberty thing seriously.

Welcome to TGT.

Pictures of boat (before and after) would be appreciated. Sounds very interesting.

Leaving Florida. Don't ever wanna go back. I'm sure there are some good ol' boys somewhere but precious few in Ft. Lauderdale.

Caught a few Dolphin (Dorado) crossing the Gulf.

Took the crew to eat the first night we arrived in TX from FL. Ran across this. Thought we must have taken a wrong turn and wound up in New Jersey.

Welcome.
I have some friends that have sailboats like that at the local lake. They would be jealous.

One of the actual deck-fills on the boat. Builder (1984) installed a 40-gallon vodka tank.

Was it built by a Russian company?

That would be 3.2 and you’re not paying attention. Okie’s have now changed that law. Focus people focus!

Guess I need to drink more beer? Been years since I’ve been to Oklahoma.

No such thing as taking liberty too seriously.

Good looking boat too. You mentioned crew. You hire a crew to make a trip across the gulf? How many guys does it take?

Howdy,

Recent immigrant to Texas, born and raised and still have ties in NE Oklahoma. After retirement (LEO), I purchased and rebuilt a sailboat in FL, then sailed it to Kemah. I still have 3 children at home so we've spent the last few months (and the next few months) training to take her across an ocean. Glad to be here among kindred spirits.

So you just moved to Texas to have access to the GULF of MEXICO?????

Welcome

Nope, built by an American by the name of Arlo Nish. Designed by another American, Thomas Wylie.

Guilty, but I've always had a soft spot for y'all. I guess I can trace my heritage to TX though. My grandpa crossed the Red River into Oklahoma as a boy in a covered wagon.

Guess they just really like Vodka.

Yeah, it takes 3 if you want to get any sleep. I hired 2 plus me. 4 or 5 would be better. 1001 miles in 5 days.
