Today I sit down with my new friend, John.  We met at my presentation and quickly found out that he was preparing his Pacific Seacraft for a Caribbean trip this winter, and he was only two slips away from the boat I was living on.  Crazy ow small the yachting community really is!  He started out as fisherman on the Pacific Coast and now has switch power for sail. Thanks for sharing your time and stories, good luck this winter, fair winds and following seas!

An encounter I will never forget. Half way across the Indian Ocean after 100 days at sea these two whales came in for a close look. The whales stayed for about an hour.
