On March 18, 2020, early afternoon, I was riding my bike home from work. Schools were out because the Coronavirus had just hit our area. As I crested the final hill home, I saw that there had been an accident at the next major intersection. As I got closer, it kind of looked like our… Continue reading

He was one of the most unique dogs that I have had in my life. While he’ll never know the life of sailing,… Continue reading

A Spartan Trifecta is running completing a Spartan Sprint, Super, and Beast in one race season. Once you complete the three races and you are a member of the Trifecta Tribe. Nice little marketing bit… Continue reading

Moving On!
We have finished our practical lessons on the J/22. Our last lesson in the basic keelboat and coastal cruising line will be on a J/30. It’s made by the same company, but is about 8’ longer. There are also some other differences, including the sail set up as well as steering and anchoring. I’m looking… Continue reading
