Go figure? It's hard to explain to others how time stretches out when I'm on a boat and suddenly life becomes very linear, orderly, even precious. It's hard to define value, but that's it for me. There's no clear roadmap to happiness. Success is easier to replicate, but not happiness. In whatever form that takes, however it may happen- I wish you that. Happiness. I am blessed with a beautiful, courageous wife and doubly blessed with a beautiful baby girl. Thanks for the comments! Ceal-

I was searching for a CSY on Sailboatlistings.com and that's how I found your Web site and excellent blog. Oddly, we live on another coast and sit in our living room at night and probably once a week take a look at your blog. We actually really like your boat, a lot, but right now it's located on the wrong coast. Doh! Having just been in Arizona and hanging out with family I know how difficult it is to break the desert dwellers in and hearing the response: "You want to do WHAT?" You have a beautiful boat and family. Keep up the great work and thought-provoking posts. Architect turned real estate developer turned sailor and now the writer of a surprisingly enjoyable blog.
