A Sailor's Soul

When the wind fills my sail
Riding on a lifelong swell
Let my heart take me where it wants to go
That's the soul of a sailor, the soul of a sailor.



And a Happy Mother's Day to all my sister sailors!

"We're sitting on our blessed Mother Earth from which we get our strength and determination love and humility. All the beautiful attributes we've been given. Respect her. Respect the waters, because that's life itself."

(Phil Lane Sr., Elder & Educator of the Yankton Sioux Indian Tribe)

Been there, Done that

Meet Alfonso.


He likes his remote control.


His remote control moves this brand new boat lift at Minneford Marina.




 The hydraulics are impressive, the cables shine, the massive wheels turn at the touch of his fingers.




And wa-la (8 ton) Bouliner is safely back on the water!


Oh happy day!


Most other boat yards are still using older lifts.



Been there. Done that.
