  • Warning: Sentimental post quickly approaching. Feel free to turn back now.

    More than one person has told me that I’m a strong, independent woman. And to be honest with you, I tell myself that same exact thing all the damn time. Mostly in front of the mirror when I’m wearing socks that Aunt Donna gave me that say “I am confident.” Mostly because I am trying… Read more

    Where in the world is S/V Small World? (To the tune of Where in the world is Carmen San Diego)

    For those of you who aren’t in the know about early 90’ds kids shows… The time has come. We are leaving Port Townsend and aiming for the Pacific Ocean.
