That's how I usually drink my Gin. But I do enjoy the occasional mixed drink and enjoy a good Martini periodically.

Yeah, I know a lot of kids who will not eat Mac and Cheese that is not made from a box. I will admit it's easier to just do the box, but it sure doesn't taste as good!!!

Wine Pairing I enjoyed a Tsillan Sempre Amore wine with it. http://www.tsillancellars.com/the-wines/wine-descriptions/2014-sempre-amore/.

1½ C large elbow macaroni 1 TBSP all purpose flour ½ TSP salt 2 C shredded cheese (recommend using ½ C Sharp Cheddar, ½ C Monterey and 1 C Medium Cheddar mixed together for flavor and texture) – Set ¾ C of cheese aside 3 TBSP butter 2 C milk Dash of white pepper Cook macaroni in boiling water...

Julbo Sunglasses I've had very good luck with the Julbo brand of sunglasses (http://www.julbousa.com/sailing-sunglasses/) when sailing. I agree with the comments about polarized sunglasses. I wouldn't go any other way!! I've owned two pairs of these sunglasses and each has cost me in the...

More Thanks Yet I can probably say that non of my posts were lost as I doubt I've posted anything in the past year - I mostly leave that to Craig. But I'm glad to have it back again without a doubt. Thanks for making it so, and congratulations on graduating and obtaining employment. Looking...

I just wanted to take a moment to wish my fellow Ericson lovers a happy and healthy new year. I wish everybody fair winds and following seas in 2012!

Sincerest Condolences It's been over 10 years now since I lost Juneau, who was with me for over 14 years. I still miss her terribly, but I have so many good memories of her and our time together. May your memories of Ringo help you move forward without him.

Spot Friends We are friends with a couple (Michael and Karen) who do a three- to six-week cruise every summer (he does six weeks; she does three weeks). This year they invested $99 for a year of Spot coverage. They decided they would send via e-mail a location every time they set the anchor...

Will You Return I really enjoyed reading this post, Mark. Does this mean you won't be coming back to the PNW any time soon? I guess there will be no chance of running into you accidentally again this summer. Sounds like a wonderful adventure that you and Vicki are undertaking. Need I say...

Merry Christmas! I'd also like to add my best wishes for the entire holiday season and fair winds for the coming year.

Beautiful October Day I love these beautiful days that we have here in Seattle. Too bad the last couple have been so rainy. But lots of wind if you want to work hard!

Mob We hate to lose our favorite sailing caps and the wind has often taken Craig's off his head unexpectedly. As one other person just mentioned, you never know when that's going to happen and they are hard to spot and sink rapidly. I consider this relatively good practice and we've only...

Mob? Omg Great question Dave! And great response Dan. I have to admit, although we've talked about it, we've never actually practiced it. What we have done is when we've lost a ball cap overboard, or passed by an interesting piece of flotsam or jetsam, we immediately drop sails, turn on the...

G1 - Splash Screen, G2 - Boat Gallery, and the Rest Looks like you fixed the problem. I'll let you know if I have any other problems. Otherwise, the site seems to be running smoothly. I even found a couple of the pictures I submitted in the Boat Gallery. I'm definitely enjoying the new site...
