I'm sailboatless for the near future. In the meantime, I'm counting on this
bunch of desperados, ne'er-do-wells, fabricators, curmudgeons, hypocrites,
liars, neurotics, psychotics, alcoholics, malcontents, and well, in other
words, sailors, to help me feel like I'm still at sea.

It's not really sailing, but I spent a few hours this weekend on a
sailboat helping a friend with his electrical system.

Transaltion- I spent far too long standing on my head futzing with the
connections on his batteries, which were sloppy, corroded, and loose. He
said "I'm sure that's not the problem" but oddly enough, when I had
cleaned, No-Ox'ed, and tightened everything, we could not duplicate his
earlier problem.

Go figure.
