the majority of the most glaring website design issues have been fixed, I'll be tweaking the smaller things over the next few days.
So I've been living aboard a new to me sailboat in Martha's Vineyard this summer. Gearing up for a journey south. Life has been great I only wish I started sooner. Lots of adventures to be had here, snorkeling is great but scuba is not feasible since the visibility is not excellent. I'd love to get in touch with other east coast sail punks out there.
