Capes, Slips, Merilyn all Trending

I've been getting a lot of support for my idea of wearing a cape to work.
Donut Girl signed off on the idea the other day.

A cape frees up the movement of your arms. It is surprising to me that capes never really caught on. I want to be ahead of the fashion trend. I have little doubt that others will soon be wearing capes. I want to be the first one.

I was assigned a slip for my boat late last week. My slip will be within walking distance of my home. This is big news for me and takes some of the stress of launch day, less than 6-weeks from now, away.

I note that my Merilyn St. Martin tribute was by far the most visited piece I have written on this blog. I believe that she had a big impact on my many people in our industry.

I need to practise tying knots for the boat experience. I recall that during my Navy training I could never figure out how to tie a proper knot.

I'm struggling to find the right mix of crew for the boat. The H girls and Sailor Jimmy are a given. Crazy Paul and Ryan are onboard. CB is enthusiastic but irresponsible. Everyone will be given a chance to experience the boat. I was happy to see that Richard, my boat mentor has decided to keep his boat in Toronto. He was thinking of moving it to Peterborough. We should have fun times rafting the boats together and can have about 20 people out at the same time.

Mike Layton responded to my email within 24-hours.  You may not agree with their politics, but the Layton family, including Olivia Chow, are very responsive to their constituents.
