Casting off

Here is the first installment of my weblog. I intend to keep this focused on sailing and things related, but I may wander. So, I have named it windsend primarily in the sense that sailing is the purpose of wind - wind's end - but also in the sense of something sent by the wind. Not at all in the sense of no more wind because I expect to be windy.

First, some of the credit or blame for the existence of this blog, though not the content, goes to my blogging daughter. She seems to think that there might be others out there who would have an interest in my thoughts on sailing. I am not sanguine about that myself, but I am hoping it will help me preserve some musings for my own future consumption. Maybe the fact that I am making this available, at least, to others will motivate me to add to it regularly, something I have never been able to sustain in my attempts at private journal keeping.
