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.
