A little inspiration...

Hey cool, I just won a Travelers Tales "Solas Award" for one of my early blogs about the first yacht that I ever worked on. The story is published on a travel writing website and may be included in a publication of short travel stories.

For those of you who are new readers to my blog but haven't read the archives or know my history, and for my friends and family (Prcrstn8, The X’s and so forth) who are religious followers, take a little trip (or a harrowing sail) down memory lane - DRAMAMINE: THE GATEWAY DRUG. You'll at least get a good laugh.

I'm heading down to SoCal to cook for the X's for a few weeks - then, it's up to Seattle with the crew to oversee the rest of the build!

Thank god. All this time off is exhausting...
