Mast Down Day

Catskill, NY Hop-O-Nose Marina

Well, this is a sad day. We're preparing to take the mast down. That means no sailing for a long time and that makes us sad. The good part is that we're about to come into our home stomping grounds -- the capital district of New York -- Albany Troy and Schenectady.

By the way. I owe an apology to the people of New Jersey. A few days ago I made fun of them for caring too much about the Sopranos finale. Well, yesterday it was on the front page of The New York Times and the subject of a 20 minute discussion on National Public Radio. I guess that the whole nation (except Paris Hilton) was captivated by the finale, and sad to see the end of The Sopranos.

I'll write up a more complete report on masting/demasting tonight.
