ahoy! it's
been almost
4 years since i
bought this boat,
voyage fraught with
struggle & doubt, slow
but steady progress despite
2nd thoughts, then on days
like today it all pays off.  just
ask the other rob from long island
who grew up sailing but hadn't done
it in decades. yet he's still quick with a
bowline and i deferred to his reading of
the wind as we made way under #1 jib and
main. hardly anyone else on the lake but we
were accosted by some would-be pirates, three
college girls in a motorboat hoping to score some
promotional vodka, lured by the name: Gray Goose.
