It really is the simple things in life that sometimes makes me the happiest! Fortunate enough to be in the boating industry, I have the opportunity to board many different types of boats, some of which are quite high end! But, I can still bring my life back to the simplicity of enjoying going out on the water in a kayak or canoe! If you haven't experienced it, give it a try! I just had to capture the peaceful scene! Get out on the water and enjoy the scenery! If you don't own a kayak, research local state parks and check whether rentals are offered! Ask a friend to go along and join you on the adventure!

Great job to the U.S. Coast Guard Women's sailing team for winning 1st place in the 2016 Sperry Women's National Championship! They demonstrated great teamwork and it is their first win at a national title! coastguard.dodlive.mil/2016/06/coast-guard-academy-sails-to-big-win/ As my sailing friends and I, eagerly await final race results from the Annapolis to Bermuda race, I thought to share Spinsheet's updates and photos! Congratulations to a couple of my friends on team Cimarron that participated in the PHRF Division - Spinnaker 2.
www.spinsheet.com/a2b/#.V2SrgPkrJhE We toured the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) Yard in Baltimore, MD. For over a hundred years, the USCG Yard has built, repaired and renovated ships at this yard. It is the Service's sole shipbuilding and major repair facility, and an essential part of the Coast Guard's core industrial base and fleet support operations. Interesting place!
Thank you, USCG for all that you do!! http://www.uscg.mil/yard/ Thankfully the weather is slowly improving (except for the fact that there are more storms predicted for this weekend). :-) Please practice safe boating techniques while on the water!

In 2015, 76% of fatal boating accident victims drowned. Of those drowning victims with reported life jacket usage, 85% were not wearing a life jacket.
71% of deaths occurred on boats where the operator did not receive boating safety instruction. Only 15% percent of deaths occurred on vessels where the operator had received a nationally-approved boating safety education certificate. Let's make it a safer 2016!! Sign up for boating safety training and wear your life jacket!! Take the Sea Tow Designated Skipper Pledge!!
