And in English, “Where there was fire, ashes remain.” What a sailing season. Sorry to have so poorly documented my adventures. Too many competing time pirates looting my clock? Something.

Thanks, Errant, and thanks, weather gods, for providing a treasure trove of sailing memories to relive this winter. Now time to start winterization…
