Pantone, the world’s leading expert on color, finally released the color of the year for 2012, Tangerine Tango: “Tangerine Tango, a spirited reddish orange, continues to provide the energy boost we need to recharge and move forward.” I know most of you were eagerly awaiting the announcement from Pantone, which occurred some time past, […]
The waves are here! This week marked the first arrival of decent surf. With sets over mast and perfectly smooth, peeling waves, the weekend was set for fun. Thursday was the best and biggest of the days. But unfortunately the wind was a little strange, making for a tough time catching waves. I was […]
Kevin Pritchard is back on island after a mainland trip. I’m looking forward to doing some sailing and testing with him in the bigger waves over the next days. I didn’t sail today. Rather I spent the day working on proposals and a book I’m currently editing. In fact, I’m up late working even […]
