Wind, water, sail and lots of other shite
My greatest passion in life besides my family and friends is sailing. Racing sailboats runs a close first along with reading and writing vying for 2nd place. Since starting this journal here in December of 2001, I've been on a roller-coaster of highs and lows. I prefer the even keeled course my life generally takes. I've re-learned that life's what you make it. And always, warm weather, good breeze, deck under my bare feet and the sun on my face is all I need to make a bad day turn to glory...
