We have become a society of instant gratification. We want it now! Maybe not all of us, but it seems there is a strong majority that feels this way. I am grateful for lessons learned and two of them are, hard work usually pays off and be patient. So I will continue to work hard…

This past week I had the pleasure of captaining my friends boat, Sur la Mer, over to Catalina island; where we spent the night. The next morning we moved into a position off of West Point on the island to act as an observation and support vessel for the Ocean Cup Race, a high speed…

Today my partner, Grace, contracted myself and another gentleman to captain her boat to Catalina Harbor on the West side of Catalina. It is the maiden voyage for her boat; she invited friends to join her and we were expected to perform. I am happy to say that the boat did exactly what she was…
