Just so we're all clear on a few things...

Common sense on Iran, legal insider trading, and since the mere mention of the word "waterboarding" made them cheer, I wonder what the combination of the words visegrips + testicles might accomplish...

I'm not sure about you but I don't actually recall a tornado whisking me into what can only be described as a seriously dark "Twilight Zone" landscape where, considering the other options, a zombie apocalypse is looking better all the time. Zombies you can deal with, it's simple, you just make dead things deader...

But hey, we're here to talk about boats... right?

In point of fact, we're going to talk about boats that will take you as far away as you can get from the sort of madness that has become common currency in our so-called civilization...

We're also talking about how real working people without trust funds can get on the water and sail off into the sunset on a blue collar salary in comfort and safety...

We'll continue to talk about improving sailing and DIY skills (Hey, it goes with the gig...)

We talk about things that affect folks on boats cruising (and if you don't think that the political situation in the world does not affect cruising may I interest you in a coastal cruising vacation in Somalia?).

We will not be talking about the "America's Cup", fashionable color coordinated foul-weather gear, or the new flavor-of-the-month-consumerist-wet-dream boat that the cruising press is in love with... That's just not who we are.

So it goes...
