Hi Everybody,

I’m new to this blog thing and just started trying to figure it all out. I’ll be making a lot of changes over the next couple of weeks as I learn how to add interesting stuff here. My thoughts at the moment are to post about all kinds of things I find interesting: books, food, travel, politics, current events, people I meet around the world, history, photography, philosophy, music, art, culture, work, sailing, whats going on offshore in the Gulf of Mexico and around the world, shipping, traditional sail, festivals, cooking, movies, museums, and whatever else seems worth commenting on.

Please feel free to comment, I hope to make this interesting to others and learn from the comments people make in response to my posts. I have to say, I do love to argue 😉
