About Me

Sailing must be in my blood. My father sailed as a youth and an older brother loved to sail. Another brother and sister have boats and enjoy their time on the water or even tied up at their marina.

July 20, 2008: The mast was stepped on July 13.  Looks great.  Ground tackle being installed.  The electronics/nav equipment should arrive in the next day or two and then the real mess begins with running all the wires, putting on all the antenna, etc. » read more
