TOP: It's all about getting a full day in the sun, isn't it? RIGHT: Everyone, I mean EVERYONE needs to sit up on the bow.

LEFT: "I LOVE DIVING!!!" - but Chris still remains A.W.O.L. RIGHT: Matt and Alex taking turns at the helm..."one for you...ten for me..."

TOP: Pigg on board. RIGHT: Best seat in the house? I think NOT.

TOP: This is my friend Steve Schultz pulling in the anchor as we prepare to set sail to head back in to the Marina. One summer Steve did something I've only dreamed about trying...he road his bike cross country from Virginia all the way to Oregon. Hell, I get tired just FLYING coast to coast, let alone doing it on a 10 speed.

LEFT: It's been a LONG time since Paul has been on the sail boat...of course it's been a long time since he moved to Europe. Coinicdence? I THINK NOT! TOP: Aleks and Sabine...I don't know what the "thumb's up" is for...oh wait..I get it now.

TOP: I met Steve (right) a couple of years ago at a place called Theo's in Sioux Falls. He was tending bar and I was doing the guitar/singing thing that I've been known to do on the weekends. Inevitably he would ALWAYS have a cold Sams Adams waiting for me at the bar when I walked in. How's THAT for anticipation?

Now I'm not going to say that Sailing and Drinking are inextricably linked...but I could!
