But, I’ve yet to figure out what it is so I’m am using this time to do a little rambling.

I’ve added a few more things to this site, mostly just a couple of feed widgets in the side bar.  So, check them out.  I know I don’t post enough, I think of things all the time to post, but lately, just been too busy to get them out and up.  Anyway … (continue reading…)

All was calm since I got home until a few minutes ago.  Then the wind changed with a good howl and the clanging of halyards.  A good sailor knows not to leave his/her halyards hanked to the sails but hanks them on a cleat somewhere on a shroud or other place far from the mast.  That’s the noise you hear like tin bells when the wind blows in a marina.  Lazy sailors.  Most of us who actually live here know you would never get any sleep during a storm if you left your halyard hanked to the sail.  All that banging is nerve racking, it’s bad enough on other boats, much worse when you in a boat with one.

The water’s already lappin’ up top of the pier
The rain has yet to come but the floods already here
Hurricane’s a comin’ and we are all going to die
