		<description><![CDATA[
Sure, over the years a few sailing trophies may have managed to find their way to my home. Tucked into the bookcases, or half-hidden on shelves &#8220;artfully&#8221; filled with pictures and model boats, my collection includes the standard etched brass platters and sailboats mounted on wood, a few glass vases, and even a brass candlestick holder.

		<title>There Are No Ropes In Sailing!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My first time sailing, I was stumped by the foreign language spoken onboard; that everyone seemed to know except me. &#8220;No ropes?&#8221; I scoffed naively, &#8220;Well then, what are all those things tied to the sails and wrapped around the winches?&#8221; After much clucking and rolling of eyes among the rest of the crew, my [...]]]></description>

MID-JANUARY NEWSLETTER:
The Beach Cottage in Winter

My little island beach cottage transforms itself in winter.  The nights are longer, the surf is louder, and the windows are closed against the wind and rain, but inside it&#8217;s as warm and cozy as can be; transformed from it&#8217;s easy summer persona, when the doors and windows are open [...]]]></description>

		<title>Add One To The Bucket List</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Had I gone totally mad?  Standing in chest-high surf, with no wetsuit, my teeth chattering uncontrollably and struggling to stand against the constant pull of a strong current, I considered the possibility.  At 8:15 AM on a chilly, overcast October morning, I reminded myself that I could be sitting by a fire, with a nice [...]]]></description>
