I love every little thing about sailing. At any point in time, I need a creative outlet. This includes pictures, videos, graphic art, and yes, writing. This is the place in which I’m going to share all of it. And maybe some recipies to boot.

This is the great and terrifying truth about the creative life: Anything we make — all this longing for beauty and meaning, all these reckonings and raptures, these most passionate and personal fragments of being — is just a tiny seed compacting everything we are, blown into the wind that is the world…and we can never fully know, or know at all, when or where or how they might [bloom].
