Lighthouses

Today we’d like to tip our hats to lighthouses. They’ve served mariners well for centuries and continue to do so. They truly are the beacons that keep us safe and hold the promise of safety during turbulent times, all with a grace and beauty near and dear to the nautical world.

Teach by example

California just went through the first of a series of winter storms, which showed us how woefully prepared the state is for emergencies. It’s up to all of us to prepare for these things, so our suggestion is to do just that. Don’t expect an incompetent government to handle things that we can handle better … Read more
