Those of us with experience sailing, paddling, and rowing light expeditionary craft on adventuresome treks have a bit of a duty to set good, seamanlike examples to those who are paying attention to what we do, both to further the passion, and ensure that those who follow our path do so in safety. For they, in turn, will be the ones to further the passion in years to come.”

I Made It… WOOHOO!!!
6 Days, 19 Hours, and 33 Minutes after the start, I landed on Key Largo, completing my first Everglades Challenge! Launching was an agony never to be repeated, as my PVC slide system was an epic fail and it took … Continue reading
Only NINE MORE DAYS TO GO!!!

A Beachin’ End to My 2013 Everglades Challenge Attempt…
Just checking in to let you know that I did indeed survive a landing on Fort Myers Beach after Discovery’s rudder gudgeon loosened on the transom. It never came off, but it would have if I kept going. It appears … Continue reading

Modifying The Existing Sails…
Budgets and unproven ideas being what they are, I decided to modify Discovery’s admittedly old and out of shape sails for the 2013 Everglades Challenge. New sails would have been great, and there is a friendly member of the AMF … Continue reading
Discovery’s Light Air Strategy…
With the bowsprit and Aidric Hunt’s Sail ( https://claritysailingadventures.wordpress.com/2011/01/13/our-official-sailmaker/ ) , I should really have a good turn of speed in light air. Provided, of course, we actually GET some light air during this years’ Everglades Challenge. Here’s a few pictures of … Continue reading
A Proboscis?!?
Yes indeed, our little Discovery has Pinocchio-ized: she now sports a bowsprit! This is to ensure that Aidric’s Sail can be flown from a vessel of Discovery’s diminutive stature… kind of like one of those racing skiffs so popular in Australia, … Continue reading
