Time to go cruising
Getting cold here in Toronto. Time to leave politics, a falling dollar and an uncertain economy behind and behave like an ostrich for six months. With wifi it's getting harder and harder to stick your head in the sand but I am going to try. Heading out Sunday. Merry Christmas everyone and I hope the New Year will bring better times for everyone.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.

Have fun Vasco!

Don't worry about the pics for now -- stay away from the computer and enjoy the sailing. You can show us your photo album when you return.

Safe voyaging!

Hey Rick, where's your Spiderman sippie cup and shorts? Don't tell me that you don't take it out in public... (smile).
