Its kinda strange writing a sailing blog while being trapped at the dock but Rome wasn’t built in a day. Each week little projects get crossed off the list and new ones are added.
We have survived the worst of the cold, actually it wasn’t bad at all. We locked our self’s in the boat and cooked yummy food all night. The days were spent fighting mold, a constant battle against the wet winter weather. Two adults a wet dog, and Serena’s constant cooking, all in a 22′ boat make for quite a bit of condensation. Below is my lucky hat purchased when I went to Southern California to survey The` almost two years ago.
A huge stroke of luck has come our way, after 22 months of constant searching I have found a Lyle Hess 6′ 8″ dingy designed to sit on our cabin top. I don’t know how we are going to pull it off but by Sunday she will be ours. This is a huge step forward as we now have a life boat and a way to get to shore.
Big Al….
I’ll just go ahead & say it, …your Fukien amazin… If Congress could follow after you there would be “a chicken in every pot” … score one for the good guys…
Congrats on the new dingy thingy!
Kindest regards,

I laughed out loud when I read this, yep I’m running for president baby. You timing is perfect, we were all sitting around discussing the absolute lack us quality representatives and leadership when we asked is there anyone in this country that cant be bought. After much debate we decided that Oprah Winfrey is the only person in the country that we know of who has no price… well her, me, you, and everyone who reads this blog. If I could start this life all over again I would go into politics, I would speak softly but carry a BIG STICK! In the end all we can do is lead by example and be the best role models we can. 
Like your Bob Marley quote!
That’s who it was
I write down awesome quotes in my journal but I didn’t know who wrote that one, thank you.
