"Most forms of transportation work against natural
forces, using engines and machinery to overcome inertia, friction, and gravity,
excluding the influence of the elements as much as possible. Moving in a
sailboat depends on your harmony with the forces of nature; you are not
overcoming the forces of nature, but moving with them." Jan Adkins "The
Craft of Sail"

Q. Why am I
smiling?
Scituate Harbor,
Massachusetts, November 11, 2007. When I woke that morning, it was 26 degrees
outside, and, with no heater aboard (yet!), not much warmer in the cabin. The
day before, we crossed the bay in 14 foot seas. I spent more time than I'd like
to admit examining the swim platform. Half our food stayed behind in the car,
the water in the holding tank tastes kind of funky, and the cabin looks like a
bomb went off.
A. I'm having fun!
(And clearly insane.)
Last fall at the
survey...
