Life is cruel, and full of irony. We lived in some of the best birds-watcher paradise, and always wondered how such a “hobby” could be so fascinating, why would you spend so many hours trying to identify them? Well… well… the table has turned, as you can see we have now built a new [...] You remember the Spam Spam Spam sketch, they had. Well we feel we are doing the same with all our “prep” work. That’s what we are doing all the time, that’s what we are talking about all the time, that’s what we are breathing all the time. In other words our life is totally absorbed [...] Pimping or pumping is a fine line, and today we did both.

Planning was perfect, sunny and warm for January in the PNW. We have now two anchors setup one with 100ft of chain plus 100 ft of rope, and the main one with 250 ft of chain. If you ever done it, you know what our day was like, from [...] This was a long project to complete, the learning curve was steep and in the back of my head the mantra of Mr Calder was always present. “Keep the system balanced, if you want success” Understanding the needs, balancing all the element of the system and finally finding the most practical and economical solution. [...] Typically the next weeks in our business are some of the busiest ones of the year! In this statement read : profitable, long and intense hours which unfortunately is not sailing centered.
