That person who kicked me square in the ass, with no regards for what I thought about it, was Dan and Kika from Sailing Uma. Obviously, not literally, we’ve never met those two beautiful individuals. Watching their videos inspired us beyond words

o be perfectly honest, I don’t know what has brought all of you here. Was it sailing, or just the sheer beauty of our faces. Perhaps it’s the fact that the LGBTQ+ sailing community is somewhat small and you all like connecting with other members. In the end, the reason doesn’t really matter, it’s that we are all here now. But, the thought has plagued me for quite some time, and it really shouldn’t.

et’s get the obvious out of the way, this sucked. I can’t quite think of a more elegant way to put that other than, it sucked. If you were hoping that I, Jake, would write words that were a bit more Shakespearean, I apologize for my one dollar word. My thirtieth birthday went off with a bang, literally, as our keel ran into some rocks.

Mother Nature is not something you play it by ear with. You respect her, and follow in her footsteps. At no point should you ever try to fight her, instead, you work with her and move to and fro as she sees fit. Which is why as a sailor you want a plethora of tools at your disposal so that you follow the safest path possible. In this specific case, our focus is on Predict Wind, a weather and wind app

The body is a temple meant to be protected
A plethora of stories destined to be collected
Decorate it with the ink of the gods
And you will forever defy all odds”
“What is in a name? Is a name merely a label or descriptor, or is it the personification of the entity? Does it perhaps encompass all that makes up an individual? Is the identity lost without a name? If you were to lose your name, would you lose sense of who you are? What if your name changed, would the person you once were be lost?”

If you reached out, and touched the line where the sky meets the ocean, they say that’s where dreams are made. If you were to reach that spot, just beneath the sun, all of your wishes would come true.

The past six months peace of mind has been a luxury. For most of us, we’ve been stressed beyond comparison and can’t even imagine what else could possibly go wrong. This year alone has felt like a lifetime of problems have arisen and we face them down like a Spartan army ready to battle something twice our size.
