BTW, rain does not bother me any more, if I can live at the pace
demanded in a
rainy climate.  In fact, I really like the way everything changes as a
system
moves through the coast.  I love watching it clear up after a couple
days of
dreck.  It's cathartic as hell!

Thanks, Wes, for the chance to dream!  And, the rest of you, let's hear
yours!

I'd paddle around the continent of Africa, full circumnavigation. I'd do
it in an epoxy carbonfibre Nordkapp Jubilee, with an offshore tender
available along the Diamond Coast/Skull Coastline. I used to fantasize
about that trip as a young man. Now it is a faint dream...Maybe in
another life. In the mean time, just getting out for a day trip is a
challenge this month.
