Welcome to the incomparable Alberg 30 Association, Timothy. Will you be attending the annual dinner on Saturday in Stevensville? It is a good place to meet Assoc members. I am a cruiser, rather than a racer, but I look forward to meeting you. Best wishes for the 2016 season. Jay Davenport

Good morning,

I wanted to introduce myself to the association. My name is Tim Peek, I live in Pasadena, Md and have been in the area for eight years now. Moving out here I was fortunate enough to become involved in the Wednesday night races, crewing on the LinGin. I have been regularly doing so for the last six years now. I think its been six years, the seasons go quickly.

By way of a newspaper ad Tim Williams showed me, I came across Rob Alley, the owner of Never More #219. After speaking with Mr. Alley, to my delight, we worked something out where I am now the new owner of an Alberg 30, and now a member of the Chesapeake Bay Alberg 30 Association. 

I have met many of the avid racers belonging to the club and look forward to meeting others. This is a huge project for me. I am new to sailing, as I do not really consider being a jib trimmer for six years as all encompassing sailing experience, but it counts for something. This is the first boat I have ever owned and it will require a lot of work as well as educating myself on a lot of new skills.

Publicly, in the group, I sincerely want to thank Tim Williams for the opportunity of crewing on his boat which has been instrumental in preparing me for this now. As he knows, this has been a long time dream of mine. And I might add something that has unprecedentedly come to fruition years before I ever thought it would. I also want to thank all those I have sailed with on the LinGin, namely Glen Becker whose racing strategies and knowledge, as well as Tim’s, has been something I astoundly admire, if not it being out right sorcery! I also want to thank Mike Lehman whose advice and encouragement was pivotal in me taking this on. And a big thank you to Brian Palmer who has already provided lengthy emails of help to me. 

I am hoping, and certainly reasonably, to have the boat in the water by April and ready to do some cruising by May or June.  I plan on relocating boat this summer somewhere in Anne Arundel County, no ideas where yet. I sincerely thank Mr. Alley and his wife Harriet for this opportunity and his continual interest and help in my work with it. I look forward to having you two aboard in the near future! And I look forward to meeting the rest of you out on the bay. 

Timothy Peek
