Sea Fever

One of the best sailing poems ever: “Sea-Fever” I must down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky,And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by,And the wheel’s kick and the wind’s song and the white sail’s shaking,And a grey mist on the sea’s face,

Sailing to Byzantium

Well this is an announcement to any friends, Roamans(spelled correctly) countrymen and relations that this will be the blog for our Cal 48 sailing blog instead of the previously posted URL which for reasons unbeknownst to me I cannot edit or add to any more. Perhaps it is too old and so this will be

Changes to My Blog

I am using this post to announce that I am working full time for the next few weeks finalizing preparations for a trip back to our sailboat which will be “splashed” shortly for a circuitous trip around the Pacific to Alaska this summer via Hawaii in order to take advantage of favorable winds.

Woman Power
