My wife, Sundae of the Black Schooner Nautical Shop, informs me that we are now on facebook so you can "like" us. Well, being an old gaff-rigged sailor, I'm not too sure what all that means. They tell me facebook is a great way to reconnect with folks from your distant past. I can think of some folks in my distant past I'd just as soon keep right there, but if that's what it takes to be "liked," I guess I'm fer it.
Philip Howard and I took my sailing school's newly-acquired Rainbow sloop out a couple of days ago and as luck would have it, Ruth Fordon and her husband Ken came cruising by in their outboard and Ruth took some photos. I'll post them here if I can figure out how to get them from her e-mail to this site. (There! I managed to "upload" some. Yeah, I know -- the jib halyard's too slack!)
The Rainbow is really fun to sail! I took my girls out yesterday in a light breeze and about a dozen dolphins met us right outside the harbor. Four-year-old Mariah Daisy was ecstatic when they came up almost within touching range.
"I saw one of them's face!" she exclaimed, "It smiled at me!"

Looks good, Rob. Mighty purty.
Rumor is that you brought Philip along just for ballast.
Hey, I believe it.
Hi Captain Rob, what is the facebook site called? Do you have the link so I can go on and “like?”
How is the air quality over there BTW? We are inhaling the smoke from the wildfires in the Outer Banks:(
Hugs to you and the family.
