I guess every blog has to have a purpose.  This blog was started as a way for me to list the crap that we kept finding in Zephyr's lockers onboard - all put there by me.  As I've grown as a Sailor, I've started to learn what is actually necessary onboard, and I wanted to get rid of the stuff in a manner that made sense.  Thus - a website.

But, now I guess the blog is something different.  It's a chance to share some of Zephyr's adventures, and our trials, with someone else who might learn something useful from them.  It's a place for friends and families to see what we're up to.  And, it's a chance to create memories that we can share later.

S/V Zephyr is a 1981 O H Rodgers design.  She's a swing keel, and I believe the last one remaining (if someone else knows of one, please let me know!).  She's a good old boat, requires constant attention, and she doesn't get to go to sea nearly as much as I do.  But I'm going to fix that over the next few years.

We're currently homeported in Jacksonville, FL.
