Hey guys. I love to visit your page because I enjoy listening to your playlist. Great tunes!  Wondered if you knew about the concert they are doing at Vinoy Park? Slightly Stupid, Snoop Dogg & a Marley brother. The concert is Friday night, 7-31-09. We are thinkin about anchoring off the park for the night, have some cocktails and enjoy the concert. Hope you can make it out.

Well you know what they say- Big boats get all the glory but the small boats make the sailor.

I used to be a keelboat cruiser, but I recently became a dinghy racer. You be surprised how much keen rig tension and sail trim adjustments will help. For us it makes the difference of pointing 10 degrees higher in the puffs and sailing a knot faster in the lulls.

I would love to take a cruise to Mexico though. I've been looking at Panama and Costa Rica even.
