He then scored 10/10 on the quiz.

Congratulations, Rory!

The Pierces finally worked up enough energy to go to the snow!  Frolicked one day, but lots of rain on the day scheduled for skiing.  We’ll need to try again.

Everything Robert knows about the racing rules of sailing he learned from this video.  You think it’s a joke??

Robert is proud to announce that today he sailed Sebake  around portions of the San Francisco Bay in a singlehanded fashion.

On a sentimental but perhaps sad note, Robert has decided to leave Mira and elope with his Model 424 Harken High-Load Small Boat Furler Drum.
