Something to bookmark...

About those tropical cocktails, the sheep grease advantage, and some good points about tasers/tasing...

For those in the find a small boat, rehab the sucker, and sail off into the sunset fraternity, a really good place to bookmark would be Atom Voyages, which just may be the best fix up an old boat site around.

James Baldwin has good ideas... I've mentioned his awesome solar tracker before, but there are any number of projects that anyone fixing up a boat would find interesting and helpful... For instance, check out his very cool outboard wells!

Baldwin's chops come from experience sailing around the world a couple of times on his sailboat Atom (a 28-foot Pearson Triton) so you might say he actually understands what someone preparing to go to sea and cruise in a small boat needs. So hardly surprising he makes a whole lot of sense.

His book "Across Islands and Oceans" is also something of a must read...

The funny thing is, while every Pearson person I run into seems to know all about Atom (with various projects on their boats attesting to it), Jame's work is not quite so well known outside the Pearson tribe even though it's just as helpful whether you have a CAL or a Bendytoy.

Like I said, a website you should be reading...

So it goes...
