A lot's happened in a year of not posting...

What will hopefully be the only Annual Update


Given that aside from healthcare workers, grocery store/food delivery chain employees, the entire planet suddenly has a lot more free time, what better time to try to get in the habit of updating this Blog!

Going forward, I'm going to create at least three types of posts, which can be filtered on the right side, under "Pages".  The current three are

  • Sailing Related Posts - Kind of obvious
  • General Posts - Basically all posts that are not sailing specific
  • Technical Articles - For the dorks out there
So what's happened in the past year.
  • Found and bought a boat (1997 Beneteau Oceanis 40 CC in New Bern, NC)
  • Moved it to Oriental, NC "The Sailing Capital of NC"
    Amazing place, BTW.  Great for a weekend trip.  People are super friendly and it is super relaxing to go there.
  • Had it "on the hard" (out of water) at Deaton Yacht Service to do some work, bottom painting, etc.
  • Named it Betelgeuse. (Brightest star in the Constellation Orion *normally)
    Those that understand how to hail on a marine VHF may get a kick out of this name...
  • Set it up for charter from Bow To Stern Boating.
  • Sailing over several weekends, taking trips to various spots on the Neuse River
  • Went on a weeklong charter with friends down in the British Virgin Islands.  Amazing, amazing trip that I can't wait to do again.
  • Finished out a very successful 2019 at Closet Factory.
  • Returned to the Miami Boat Show.
  • COVID-19 happened, forcing us to move everything to Virtual appointments using screen sharing, eventually stop all of our Closet Factory Operations, temporarily lay off our employees and spend a lot more time at home.


I'll see about posting some more information on some of these bullet points over the coming days/weeks as I have a chance to create posts that include some pictures from along the way.

Thanks for reading!
