I can't believe I missed you, by one day!??
I'm presently in Shasta, here for a couple more days, then back to
L.A.
Hey, Tor! I finally got a 'good' recording deal! When I return to
L.A., I start to record. My album; my music, so, it is truly a
phenomenal time for me!
I will be recording out of Conway Studio.
You can call if you like: (310) 309-7054 |

As a recently " born again " older sailor,
whose sole experience has been purely on inland water, I have been
thoroughly enjoying tales of your experiences on the high seas
----- something I wished I had done when I was more physically
able. However you are giving me hope that one day I shall share
with you that ultimate test ------- sailing with my back to the
coast.
Well done, and more strength to your pen ! |

Hey Tor!
It was great chatting with you the other day. We are looking
forward to our up coming visit. Your travel log always keeps us
smiling. Right now there is a large tent out back where they had a
dinner party the other night...fresh lobster. We know you would
have had a hand in it! See you soon. Tiff |

Hi to you Tor,
I just finished your book Ready for Sea, only one part in the book
that I didn't agree total with you. Provisioning for the long
trip/live aboard. I think its much better to buy and taste all the
wonderful foods along the way. To buy and cook like the locials
cook with their spices there techniques ie smells too.
PS I have a golden retriver named Schooner, great pooch. He even
knows the comand "to come about" and then he moves to
the high side, makes me laugh every time we go sailing.

Hi Tor: I was going through my
favorite places and came upon your link. Looks like you are
continuing to make life a better place to be. The skiing was great
last winter. Summer is here, and this time I have the time to
start doing some serious hiking again. If you plan on being in the
Placerville - Tahoe area, give me a call and we can go have a beer
or two and listen to the eagles. (Not the ones with Glen Frye). I
saw a post from PinneySr. If this is your dad, tell him I said
hello.

Tor, I find your background
and adventures very interesting. I am a professor of
entrepreneurship at Johnson & Wales University in Rhode Island
and would really appreciate the opportunity to speak to you in
person. Are you in the RI area during the month on June? If not,
is there some way we could have a telephone conversation?
The two topics I would like to speak to you about are:
- Possibly speaking to entrepreneurial students @ JWU
- An incentive marketing package designed for high ticket priced
items.
Hope to hear from you,

Hi there Tor, I just wanted to say that I
very much enjoyed the excerpts from your book. I am finally
sucmming to the call of the sea and attempting the transition from
land to a marine based life style I am at the stage of trying to
decide what type of boat to purchase (I'm not ready yet) I have
been eyeing the peterson 46's, any suggestions? I plan to single
hand which ever boat I end up with so that is a consideration.
Anyway great stuff really enjoyed the passages from your book.
Thanks. |

Tor
Well it was some time in the eaarly seventies when we first met. I
had a Folk boat and was running from a bad relationship. I found
my way to the anchorage at Dinner Key and wile exploring that
little island found you asleep in an old boat which may have been
the old life boat. I was maybe 23 fresh out of the Marines and had
grown up in Ft Lauderdale so this was all natural to me. You were
about as rough as an Austrailian pines bark and that brown. We
sailed your little boat or someones little gaff rig and with a few
girls and some party favors took a spin to Stiltsville we had a
hell of a good time until the afternoon squawls came chasing us
back to the ancorage. We had her healed over a few times but made
very little of it so as to impress the ladies that we were all
hardy sailors.
Well I now live in New Orleans and am getting ready to go sailing
again after a few years in the mountains of Colorado. I like you
spent my whole life in the marine trades and never regreted one
minute of cold tuna from the can and all the tough times when we
were young. I always wondered what it was like to live on that
little island by Dinner Key that the last time I saw it had turned
into a dump ground. My best wishes I always remembered you over
the years as a true sailor and was happy to know you were with
Pasific Sea Craft and doing well.Hell Of a far cry from Dinner Key

Came across your site while surfing
Crealock info. I have a 1984 Crealock 34 currently at Hog Island
while I am in Canada in my "cozy log cabin" for a summer
of paragliding, kiteboarding, building things on my land and
cruising in the camper van. Back to a skippering season next month
down in the islands. An adventurous life has it's ups and downs
but is pretty darn good as I'm sure you'll agree. Came across the
Sparrow name - maybe Ian on Manxcat told me about you. All the

Greetings Tor, My sister Jodie sent me
your website She thought I might find it interesting. I sure did.
What an amazing life you have lead. I believe I saw you at the
Miami boat show a few years ago. My ex and I were there looking to
buy a boat. We ended up with a 45 ft Morgan. We spent the first
few yrs of marriage living aboard a 24 ft sailboat. I have to say,
those were the best of times. I graduated from MHS with your
sister Sara and remeber taking a few art classes from your mother
down at the Bevan Hotel. I hope this email finds you and all of
your family healthy and as happy as you seem to be. take care and
happy crusing |

thrilled to read of the wonderful life you've led since leaving
Larchmont!My family moved to Florida in 1971 (No. Palm Beach) and
are all still sailing. I plan to purchase several copies of your
book as gifts for them. I chose the Colorado mountains which I
love as much as you love the sea.Wishing you safe seas and sunny

Congratulations on a fine website. Useful stuff, too! Found it
thru a Google search while I was looking for routing info between
the Virgin Islands and US East Coast (gonna be bringing my 42'
sloop back in May-June to the Chesapeake after 10 years in the
Virgin Islands and Eastern Caribbean).
I sailed down the easy way: from Norfolk to Bermuda to Tortola.
Not sure of routing on way back; I'd like to visit a few spots in
the Bahamas since I've never sailed there. Thinking about St
Thomas to George Town, Exuma direct, then up thru islands to Gulf
Stream off Boca Raton and on up to the Chesapeake.
Best,

This is in response to the message below:
Hello Thomas,
I eventually did become aware of an older Crealock 37 with the
name Kerry Dancer, which predated the 1983 boat I owned, but not
until after I had named my boat. I was the Pacific Seacraft dealer
in Florida back then, and that '83 boat was my demo boat (and
home) until the end of 1987. Because she was always intended for
boat shows and eventual re-sale, I never put her name on the
transom. I just called her Kerry Dancer. And when I found out
about there being another, earlier Crealock 37 with the same name,
I shortened my boat's name to Kerry.
I came up with the name from my old rock-n-roll band days, when
one of my band members wrote, and I recorded, a song called,
"The Days of the Kerry Dancers", and I liked the sound
of it. However, it is just possible that I may have seen your boat
in Kemah/Seabrook back around 1980, because I was there for a
while then, and it may be that the name just stuck with me
subconsciously as a good name for a Crealock 37. To this day, I'm
honestly not certain about that.
Anyway, I sold Kerry (ex-Kerry Dancer) when I got my 1988 Crealock
37, Sparrow (named after the famous calypsonian singer-songwriter,
The Mighty Sparrow), and Kerry was renamed Sally Forth.
As for the owner’s wife that ran off to Florida and married
someone with money, it obviously wasn't me. I didn't have any
money back then, and don't have enough now to get a woman to run
off with me, let alone buy her a boat.
Reef Early,
Tor |

A friend emailed me with your website
because of the name of your early Crealock 37, Kerry Dancer. I
currently own the original Kerry Dancer, #14, built in 1978. There
was a story that the original owner’s wife ran off to Florida
and married someone with money. They ordered another Crealock 37
and named it Kerry Dancer also. Now I find this namesake as well.
We are gearing up for the annual Kerry Dancer/St. Patrick’s Day
party. This will be the 16th annual party as we have owned the
boat that long. Just out of curiosity, I would appreciate any
information you may have concerning your original boat. What a
coincidence. |

Hi Tor,
Dreaming about owning a 60 foot or so motoryacht or cruiser in the
next few years, and cruising around the world for some time.
Been doing heaps of stuff to make the world a nicer and better
place (well on the Internet), and I figure it'll be a good way to
retire for a few years.
:)

Hi Tor
Great website, pics, prose - hey, great life!
Good to see pics of you, Bev, Lisa, Roy, Sara, and your Dad and
Mom.
Hope you get your music links up soon. Are you still in a band?
(How could you find time!)
I'm living in Texas, family kids, pretty mundane. I've been a
manager for a specialty contractor for the last 25 years. No
music, but I'm into digital photography. You have truly had the
photo-opportunity-of-a-lifetime lifetime! Awesome. Great pics.
Roy called me last year out of the blue. It was nice to hear from
him.
Take care, Tor.

Hello Tor,
Sparrow is in Fiji and in perfect shape. She is the best sailboat
we could have wished for, and already seven...(jee, time flies)
years our companion in many seamiles, from Bermuda to Europe, from
the Canaries to Carib, from there to Panama and all over the
Pacific. She still looks great (we modestly think even better) and
is a joy to sail. Could not resist writing you,
John. |

Your articles are interesting and
informative. I came across your site via a 'search' for storable
energy systems sites such as our own. Perhaps you'd permit a LINK
from our site to yours? |

Hello Tor, I quite enjoyed your web site;
pics, tips and
stories. All very enjoyable. Reads like you've done a lot
of what I have day dreamed of doing for 20 years....school,
work, career, family have all had a delaying effect on
these "dreams". This has not stopped me from
"collecting"
some of what will be required, diesel engine, mast, sails,
stainless harware and varitable cornucopia of marine
accessories.....A hull, and I shall be on my way, I just
need to convince the wife to come....or do I?
Any way thanks for the read.
Cheers

Hi Tor - I didn't discover your homepage
until just now.
Thanks again for all your help finding Sea Gypsy for us.
She's still our dreamboat! I see you're not only a first-
rate yacht broker, but an very experienced sea captain
yourself. I had no idea you had done so much in your life!
You should brag more! I am enjoying every one of your
stories & articles, and look forward to your new outfitting
book, "Ready for Sea!". Hope to see you "out
there" one of
these days. |

I enjoyed your stories and tips. I am
currently building a
home. It has always been a dream to own a boat to see the
world at my pace. One day my dream will come true. If you
have any advice on where to start to learn the basic
knowledge I will need to know to start my dream it would be
much appreciated. Thank you for having a site dedicated to
sailing. |

Great site! You were one of the first hits
I found when I
plugged "Crealock 37" into Google.com. I've been reading
up
on the Crealock and was looking for stories. I can see I
stumbled on to the right site. Thanks for the great
reading! Now on to the rest of the stories...

Hi, was just taking a trip
down memory lane and came across
your web-site. I was looking specifically for cruisers
who've been cruising since the '80s and you're the first
I've come across. I lived on a 30ft Islander (Bungarye)with
my parents 1978-1986 and we spent 2 1/2 years in Central
America. We left San Diego in '79 and visited Mexico, Costa
Rica, Panama, Honduras and Belize. After cruising the East
Coast of the US, I graduated high school in Crescent City,
Fl served in the Navy (aviation)for 10 years during which
time I visited Hawaii, Iceland, England, Turkey, Israel,
Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Sicily, Italy, Spain, Chile,
Argentina, etc. If our paths didn't cross, I'm sure we have
mutual friends. I now live in Hollywood, FL with my husband
and 5 yr old daughter. Would love to hear from you. I am
enjoying your site immensely and am looking forward to many
more visits in the future. Thank you for sharing you life
with us. |
