While the weather has been doing it's Biblical deluge/ Monsoon ting I've been spending a lot of time thinking about how to fit a small surfboard shop into a 34 foot boat that is already bursting at the seams with what some might consider too many guitars...

More than likely I'll be writing about this in the not too far distant future as first I have to finish turning "So It Goes" from the mastless shadow of itself back to the sailing vessel it's supposed to be.
Right now we are at the rigging stage and we will be doing a lot of splicing over the next couple of weeks as well as finishing the various mast cleats for said rigging to interact with... Our upcoming mantra aboard "So It Goes" is about to become...
