Not only did I just get some new sails from Ballard Sails but I was out in Seattle and sailed on a race with Alex about 3 weeks ago. I told him I knew you through bikes on message boards and as we were walking down the dock he said here''s Alex''s boat right here. So I''ve seen your boat (looks great), I know your sailmaker, and I commute on a Kogswell P/R whenever I can, but we''ve never actually met.

I can''t for medical reasons but I love reading about it. I can see your trip as clear as if I was there. I used to live in Seattle.

I''m a sailing fan but sailing requires more time and money and cycling is much closer to an average person. Anyway, just looking at the photos above makes people wanna sail...

Biking was what I started with, but now its moved on mainly to machining and brewing. When buying used machines, you need one machine to repair that machine, then another to repair that machine and the cycle continues...

I suffer from TMI [Too Many Interests] Syndrome myself... ;) I''ve done a bit of sailing when I was younger and had relatives with sailboats. It''s a lot of fun and a great lifestyle! Enjoy. For now I have to content myself to sail a surfboard with my kite... ;) =-) Vik You have to roll with whatever interests you most at any given time.
