However I need to work on ventilation it is super muggy and hot inside. There would be little hope of spending the entire night in here with the Stagnet air. I found our flag!

Rain does dampen spirits for sailing. Ive not found a sailing app that I really enjoy. And, Im very competitive with a non-competitive boat, so I dont prefer a race other than one I may find on the open water. Im working a couple of metal issues this week with my favorite metal workers in town. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). At the start I...
