Thought For The Day - To me, nothing made by man is more beautiful than a sailboat under way in fine weather, and to be on that sailboat is to be as close to heaven as I expect to get. It is unalloyed happiness. - Robert Manry, author, Tinkerbelle

Couldn't have agreed more, especially seeing a couple of sailboats underway enjoying the fine weather this past weekend. Unfortunately, we're not moving right now due to a problem with one of our engines that El Capitan will get around to fixing one of these days.

On a more somber note, I recently read about a boat boarding at Yachting and Boating World, one of the boating forums I monitor. Although this happened at Swansea, England, it could happen anywhere. In short, the guy awoke shortly after 6 AM and discovered two guys had opened the patio doors and were proceeding to burglarize the boat. He interrupted them, but they made off with his DVD and TV. He now locks his doors at night. Several other boats around him were burglarized also. Visit Pamcom Security and stay safe.
