Sailboats Fair and Fine

Even ugly boats, from underwater, are fair and fine. To sell a boat give the man a snorkel mask and swim him under.If he doesn't fall in love send him to buy a camper or a trailer. This blog is about building,sailing,caring for and hanging out with boats. It's about a distant and familiar shore, left behind, and the search for a distant sweet adventure and the making of a new you. It's a joyful thing the gentle pull of tiller in hand, while feeling sorry for the lubber left on land.

Sailboats Fair and fine; Read oldest posts first

Sorry folks this may take a few days. I am working onWolftrap Video of the trip south and to the Bahamas. My computer kept locking up and some of the programs quit working. I have had this problem before and have now set up a dual boot system with Linux on one drive and Xp on the other to do only video on using Premier. I will do all my on line work in Lenux. That should keep Xp free of trash. Anyway it will take a few days to get things straight again and start posting. Sorry about that!

"Mooncursers" takes place near Baltimore, Maryland during the early part of WWII. A story of two boys, each battling his own devils. Both are strengthened through adventure and the overcoming of self imposed guilt. They decipher a cryptic note and right an old wrong. All this in order to give new meaning to the life of an elderly lady living in an old Baltimore slum and to return to her what is rightfully hers. This is a story of boys who find young manhood and lifelong confidence through adversity. Between these covers are other short stories for old boys and young men. Some will delight, drawing a chuckle and others to inspire thought. A few will leave an introspective question or two to ponder. One story is pure piffle. See if you recognize which one.
