7/12/21 - Put on your sailing shoes
Do you remember Little Feat and "Put on your Sailing Shoes"?   I'm feeling a little nostalgic this week, thank you in advance for indulging me.   Above is my friend Steve's Swan 48, Dreamcatcher, moored in Katama harbor on Martha's Vineyard.   I took this photo a few summers ago, on the way out to his boat to race in the Round the Island Race.     His regular crew included a lot of our old Dartmouth college sailing teammates from the 1980s, but all of them continue to race a lot more than I do.  I got invited to this regatta for several years running, I think because I could get good restaurant reservations in Edgartown, and because I had wonderful friends in town who'd let the whole crew use their shower.  Read full note here.
