Intro

At Beverage Reef in the South Pacific. No land here, just the reef.

Thanks for stopping by and welcome to my website. This is just an introductory post so I’ll keep it short and sweet.

I decided to start a website because I want to share my interest in cruising sailboat gadgets, ideas, and general knowledge. The millennial’s out there call them hacks.  This website seems to be the best way to do this.

I plan to continue to populate the website with information about some great HACKS, that is; ideas, products, and gadgets that make life aboard your sailboat easier, simpler, cheaper, and more comfortable. I’ll also have a few “how to” suggestions posted here under the Sailing Wisdom tab. I’ll continue to add to it every month. If you send me your ideas, I may post them and give you credit.  Send your ideas to;    thebookofsail@gmail.com

I’d like to suggest that you subscribe to this website so that when I post something new, you’ll get a notification. I promise you will not be flooded with emails, nor will I share your email address. The subscribe box is at the bottom of the page on the right, scroll down.

That’s it for now! If you’d like to be kept updated with my posts subscribe to my website.

More coming!
