Attention all Personnel

Update your blogs, folks! I know you've been up to something; what is it? What did you learn from it?

A short observation: I discovered the level of accuracy in my technique at pool vastly improved if I decreased the distance between cue and cue ball. Short stroke trumps long stroke.

Another short observation: Under sail, when preparing for a gybe, be sure you are running directly down wind. A gybe should not involve significant rudder/tiller movements, and one's heading should not change dramatically. In this video, the nose of the boat does not turn during the gybe; the main is simply sheeted in until the wind carries it across.

Strolls through Piedmont Park are best completed with Emma and a smoothie.
