Sorry, no exciting sailing pics today. Spent the day changing fuel filters, impellers, oil and oil filters. Gotta do what you gotta do.

Happiness is knowing a fabricator who can make a new stem fitting (holds the mast up from the bow) when you find a crack in the old one the week before you head offshore.

Port to Port pass, just like the book says. It's always a no stress day when the boats signal correctly and follow the rules of the road.

Is our other school boat gaining on us or are we pulling ahead? There is any easy way to tell in this situation.

While most boats are being winterized, we just launched and are prepping to head south (the best winterization plan).

What do you do when a boat pulls into the slip next to you with a really loud, rattling wind generator? Gonna be tough sleeping with this thing gong off all night.

We don't "install" sails, we "bend on" sails. Anyone know where that term came from?

My little line handler, helping us prepare to cast off. This is what makes sailing special to me, making memories with those close to you.

Aluminum boats are a great concept. I enjoyed talking to the builder of the Vaan Catamaran. All Aluminum and all electric.

From the looks of this new catamaran design, what do you think the sailing performance might be?
