Greetings!

Life is a never ending cycle. Sometimes you need to batten down the hatches and weather the storm; other times you get to hoist your sails, let the sun and the breeze kiss your face and remind you how fantastic life can be.

The figurative storm hit us pretty hard this past weekend when we heard the news that sail maker, Rui Luis, of Rooster Sails abruptly passed away on Sunday. Rui's passing leaves a hole in our collective lives that he used to fill with a wry sense of humor and a kindness that was unparalleled. Our hearts and most sincere condolences go out to his family and friends. Click here to read a Latitude 38 piece about Rui.

It is a beautiful day outside. Life is so very precious and short. Don't forget to live it!

TODAYS TIP!

Todays TipAdd some sail tape to your gear bag.

 

Of course you hope you don't ever need it, but things happen on boats and being prepared is the sign of a good sailor. A little sail tape can be a quick fix for a ripped sail. It can prevent the damage from getting any worse and even better news . . . you can probably keep sailing!
