By B.J. | Published June 30, 2009

So if the equanimity with which one approaches impending disaster is an indicator of your maturity and skill, perhaps we are progressed from the clueless newbies of so many years ago that were baffled by something as simple as a blown fuse or burned out pump. Last weekend we were Read On..

By B.J. | Published July 24, 2008

Maybe it’s getting repetitive, but we made a few trips out to Cuttyhunk and Block Island over May & June. They are nice places, there is usually stuff to do, and of course they are off shore so they are cooler than being on the main land. The challenge is Read On..
