In my heart-of-hearts, I am a sailor...a wanderer...a voyager - this blog will hopefully become a useful collection of notes and links to resources that I think other sailors might find interesting or useful.
A speculator. A poor excuse for a musician. A sometimes poet. An aspiring writer. I live for adventures. I have a gypsy spirit.
The world is my home.

Marina Swap Meet Treasures
Today was the annual Marina Swap Meet - where "treasures of the bilge"
may oft' be found - such as this book I picked up for $1 - by the world
famous small boat sailor / and master ship wright - that documents the
construction of his Lyle Hess designed vessel Taleisin - upon which he and his wife (Lin)
circumnavigated. It was serendipitous - for I have met them both - and
have sat in the warm cabin of Taleisin on a cold winter day when she was
tied to the dock on Lake Union in Seattle for a boat show event.
