Well, it's a new year. 2013 to be exact and I'm resurrecting the sailing life. Not that I haven't been living it - I have, or to be perfectly truthful, not too much sailing but building a marine service business here in Stamford, CT.
More about that: Here's how to build a business very quickly:
- Find something you like to do
- Approach people who need that thing done
- Show up on time
- Do what you say you'll do and maybe a little more
- Charge a reasonable price - which is not necessarily what the market will bear
- Communicate with your customers
Sounds simple, huh? You'd be surprised. Anyway, I like working on boats and that's what I do now, at least until wanderlust takes over again and I have to leave.
You might wonder why I haven't been posting at all. To be honest, I had nothing to say, and might still have nothing to say but I'm hoping that's not the case.
Also during the last couple of years my sister and I have met our four half brothers and their family. That's been pretty wonderful and has really opened our eyes to the whole other family thing. Very nice.
Soon I'm heading to the UK for an extended stay where I'll be hiking in Wales and Scotland and perhaps Ireland. So, the real reason for resurrecting this blog is to record those travels as well even though there's no sailing involved.
Finally, there are projects I want to do on Pelican that are fairly simple but will enhance her usefulness and will be fairly inexpensive. Since I plan to go cruising again, I need to bring her back to cruise readiness.
With that said I'm off to a New Years celebration!
See you on the water.
