an alternative paint job…

White or gray?
Wendig gets it, a bit of good news, and something worthwhile from Latitude 38… As much as I’d really like to do a one of a kind Dazzle paint job on the Islander, my inner advisor suggests it’s better to blend with the crowd. Well, at least for the foreseeable future. So, a white boat …
so much for PBO’s street cred…
Some scary climate stuff, cruisers in Mexico might take note, and books you won’t find at the Nimitz Library… I just came across an interesting article regarding a new electronic flare in PBO. While it appears to be just what a lot of us are looking, the “Advertorial” write up did not impress. Advertorial = …
missing book trades…
Just some needful facts, the downside of brain drain, and in the “He just keeps on opening his mouth” department… It just occurred to me that I have not read a Stephen King novel in ages. Looking up his books this morning, it became clear that there are a lot of King’s books that I …
my 2¢ on the Pardey question…
A conversation of note, some scary stuff, and in the “just in case you thought you were all alone” department… OK, I have a confession to make. I’ve never been a big fan of Lin and Larry Pardey. That said, their books are a great resource and 91% of their cruising and sailing advice is …

Krugman on malignant stupidity, the end of NaNoWriMo, and something from the “a sharpie made of dryer lint?” department… So, yeah, that happened yesterday and we’re in for a world of hurt as a result. Luckily I don’t have any big purchases in the works but really should stock up on paint, bolts, screws, and …
a worthy read…
A needful read, some good advice, and in the “WTF” department… The new JRA Magazine (issue 97) is now available and it’s a worthy read. For me, one of the best parts of being a member of the Junk Rig Association is their great magazine. I’ve never read an issue that did not have an …
a question answered…
An excellent post, how to deal with criminal politicians, and in the “a lot of this going around” department… So, here’s a first. Someone asked me why I start each post with three links to stuff in the news. As it happens, it’s a surprise as no one has ever asked that before. Which is …
an answer of sorts…
The return of child labor, a podcast I’ll be following, and in the “crime pays” department… Someone asked me the other day what boat I’d buy if money were not an issue and, while it’s a silly question, I did do some thinking. In fact, I did a lot of thinking. It turns out that …
