This is a little "off topic" for this particular thread... but I
couldn't help but notice that Mr. Ganssle recently posted/
participated here.

In his posting he noted his personal web site:

www.ganssle.com/jack

About a couple of weeks ago... I was surfing the internet and
stumbled across the aforementioned web site. Once I opened
it up... I was totally engrossed in it's contents. For those of
us that love the sea and sailing... will find his accounts totally
awesome! He talks the talk... but has done the walk... so to
speak.

Enjoy... one heck of a fine "read" and thank you Jack for your
time and contribution to the sailing community.
