It was sad to see, but my entire blog went down this week and I am recreating it this weekend from the Google cache content &#8230; please be patient.  Pictures should be recovered later this weekend.
Mostly I&#8217;m going to miss all the comments I had recieved up until now.

February 18, 2010 marks one year for me on my own sailboat project as I have chosen to take break up the overall project in to smaller tasks.
