  15. The pages on the two times I participated in the Bermuda Ocean Race (Annapolis, MD to St. Georges, Bermuda) where among the first web pages I published (circa 1999).
  16. It's been almost 20 years since I last published the pages.  This week I took a look at them and realized they were almost un-viewable.  
  17. I have reformated both pages (BOR 1986 and BOR 1988).

  45. Sous Vide is one of those cooking methods I thought I never would adopt, especially
  46. for cooking in Sarah's galley.  In moment of weakness I ordered the Joule cooker through
  47. Amazon.com.  Turns out it solved the problem of slow cooking on a boat in the summer plus
  48. a few other problems I didn't realize needed solving.

  137. A few days ago I learned that Seafox, Lou Kenedy's motorsailor was in bad shape and
  138. was going to be scrapped in the near future.  That made me go back to the web pages
  139. I had published with the Saturday Evening Post article on Lou's life back in the 1950's.
  140. I once more realized that the navigation between the pages of this article was very
  141. crude and difficult.  So I re-did the pages and hopefully that are now easier to read.
  142. Unfortunatly I can do nothing about the legibility of the scanned pages.

  201. publish video on the Internet.  I recently recoved the video tapes of this trip and a later one
