Welcome!  Whether you're a sailor, a cowgirl, a wooden boat lover, a closet poet, a perennial change manager, a community program visionary or a little of all these, I hope you'll find something in these pages to inspire and to share. 

My office in Port Townsend is currently at the Northwest Maritime Center & Wooden Boat Foundation, street level near the Wooden Boat Chandlery (the yellow building).  I continue to juggle my time working with crew at the WBF office, on writing in Port Townsend and at Windspiration Point in Oklahoma and sailing on Pax, my classic wooden boat moored at Boat Haven marina.  Email is always the best way to find me... in the wind.
