Special Delivery!

Sunday Morning at 9am I'll be sitting in the back of a rental car headed for Annapolis! Why? I get to crew with our neighbor (Dave) on a 42 foot Cutter for a 5 to 10 day skirt down to Oriental, NC..
Will post when I get back!!!

Sinking Thinkings

*Chart: A type of map that tells you exactly where it is that you've ran aground

*Propeller: Underwater winch designed to wind up at high speed any lines or painters left hanging over the stern

*Clew: Evidence leading to the recovery of a missing sail

*Canvas: An abrasive sailcloth used to remove excess skin from knuckles.

*Fluke - The portion of an anchor that digs securely into the bottom, holding the boat in place; also, any occasion when this occurs on the first try.

*My spouse has determined that I am the Captain of my ship.
