Friends of Lake Union and the Lake Washington Ship Canal, I bid you bask in the gallant delight of mock naval warfare:

For Nic and I ’twas our first scuba experience ever. Once you calm yourself down and start relaxing your breathing it’s really awesome. I may just have to pursue more diving!

Nic sets to go down

I haven't seen myself that happy since I won a skipper swap race with Dale's boat!

Race was a bit of a bust for us, kinda sailed into a black hole. But the weather was gorgeous!

Pirate Nic got a haircut

Looks like Lieta might be sailing on Zoe this season.

Finally got the rig running. Unbelievable feeling, it’s so good when it powers up! Thanks to Nic for the video!

Here’s another video from that same day. We were racing the Goosebumps.

February 8th looms.

I hope someone magically transports me to Valencia to watch the Cup. Ah well. I just hope there’s good tv coverage. In the mean time:

Monsoon Cup in Malaysia. Watch out for Ben Ainslie.

Hi all. When it comes to Tbird 333, it’s been a tumultuous year.
