So, here I am back in Japan. Air travel is truly amazing. I worry about what will replace the jet engine – solar? nuclear? Hmmmmm.  Maybe we are living in a short-lived golden period of air travel. Like, I mean, gasoline cannot continue to be so cheap. Prices must rise and I will no longer be able to zoom around the world with not a care.

I spend the day getting the Scaffie ready for the sailing season. I finalize the thwart. How often have any of you finalized a thwart?

Notice the stainless steel bolts

A lot of work has gone into this.

I was in San Francisco yesterday

I will now eat fish.
