Cap’n Scuba Steve... Arriving!

[Cap'n Scuba Steve]

Hi all,

Joined a few days ago after purchasing a 2007 240 Sundancer! I’ve been a boater and water enthusiast since I was a little boy, and have boated on all kinds of craft - my all-time favorite being a guided-missile destroyer! We boat on Table Rock Lake in SW Missouri, and recently sold our Babeliner 185 bow rider to move up to the 240DA. Looking forward to reading and learning lots from all the members here, as this is my first Sea Ray!

Welcome aboard! That's a fine looking boat. I did some time on a DDG myself, back in the day. Thank me for your service...err...thank you for my service....oh hell, you know what I mean.

Yes, that I do! And thank YOU for your service! I served aboard Barry (DDG 52), Stethem (DDG 63), and commissioned Sterett (DDG 104). All great ships!

Dang. That's quite a career. I was on The Goldsborough (DDG-20) (showing my age here)

When I was on active duty I was a Fire Controlman, and transitioned to the Reserves after 13 years. No FC billets in the Reserves, so I had to cross-rate and I wanted a rate that I wouldn’t have to go to A-school for. Boatswain’s Mate was a perfect fit!

No bikinis involved in this pic, but it was the last I took before delivering to her new owner.

Welcome aboard Bo'sun! I'm an old sailor myself - 30 years - "with good behavior" as I like to say. 9 active and 21 Reserve. I did 3 SE Asia cruises on the Ranger in the early 70's.

Excellent! The world's finest Navy is also the world's smallest it would seem! Love coming across fellow shipmates both virtually and in person. Great shot of your 58 DB, BTW!
