The safety card

Do not underestimate the need for optimizing safety aboard your vessel.

I routinely head to the marina for no reason other than to take a nap. Familiarizing and conditioning myself to the sounds and motions of LIQUIDITY while I am sleeping trains me to wake up while at anchor, in a dragging situation, for example. Can't be too safe!
Fair winds, Neil

Next week looks like a good time to “nap” on Gabbiano.

Well I now have a boat so that is the first thing off the wish list. Now I need to assemble my mooring tackle. I also would like to figure out some type of boom tent or bimini top that would be easy to use on a Typhoon.
