PINEHURST - The Historic Preservation Commission plans to approve the Village Council's plans to renovate the Village Green, the village manager said.
The commission and council have been at odds over the improvements for more than five months.
The council plans to expand and pave a sand parking lot and clear space for a grassy park on the 7.3-acre Village Green. The renovations are expected to address a shortage of downtown parking.
The Historic Preservation Commission had concerns about the size of the project and the removal of 93 trees. It voted in June to deny a Certificate of Appropriateness for the work.
The council appealed the decision to the Board of Adjustment, which ruled in the council's favor on Oct. 4.
The commission could have appealed the board's decision to Moore County Superior Court.
But Pinehurst Village Manager Andy Wilkison said the commission's chairman told him that the commission had decided not to appeal.
Wilkison said the commission was bothered by some wording in the board's order. The village agreed to change the wording, clearing the way for the commission to issue the certificate at its Dec. 20 meeting.
Village staff members plan to put the project out for bid in the next few weeks, Wilkison said.
The council could award a contract in January for the work, which is expected to take three or four months, he said.

Stage data: SS11, El Priorat 2 (45.97 kilometres - asphalt)
Stage description:
By Prodrive WRC Team co-driver Carlos del Barrio: "We come to this stage from stage number one, which can be demanding for the tyres so we are not sure of the tyre strategy for this stage, which is so long. It's a very well known for us this stage and for the other drivers. The first 10 kilometres are most demanding for the pace notes and the nature of the corners and then it becomes wide and more open so not as demanding as you'd expect for a stage of this length."
How the action unfolded:
Mikko Hirvonen has snatched third place on RallyRACC-Rally de Espana following the second run through El Priorat.
The Citroen driver was 17.6s quicker than Mads Ostberg to move 12.1s in front of the Ford privateer heading to Saturday's final stage. "I really tried to push a little bit and find a good rhythm," said Hirvonen. "I'm quite happy with that time."
Ostberg, who slips to fourth overall after going 27.1s slower than event leader Sebastien Loeb, said: "The [soft] set-up is absolutely horrible and it's not possible to drive the car. I just lose the grip everywhere when it's drying up. I'm more sideways than straight. This is not good for the result - I guarantee we will lose a lot of time. It's hopeless."
Loeb, meanwhile, admitted to reducing his pace just slightly in the closing stages of the run. "I pushed really hard from the start and was too aggressive, which meant there was a little movement with the tyre at the middle. I took it a bit easy after that."
Jari-Matti Latvala was 3.1s slower than Loeb and now trails the Frenchman in the overall classification by 24.1s. "The set-up was too soft, I needed a full dry set-up but unfortunately I didn't have it," said Latvala. "The car was moving too much and I didn't get the best confidence."
Spaniard Dani Sordo, who was quickest of all on stage 10 in his MINI, has yet to complete the run but has recorded a number of fastest split times so far.

Nice to feel that cool mist on the face.
Atmosphere! and lots of it, Ron . Like the slight salmon/pink tone (or is that just my monitor).
could be perigord vert mist
hard to tell the flavour.. the high key is marvellously creamy and atmospheric.
You didn't try to drive in this did you - thick as soup, but oh so atmospheric. We seldom get this kind of fog where I live and it makes for wonderful images. *slightly envious*

The marriage of anatomic data from computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging to the metabolic data from positron emission tomography (PET) and single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) is an ex-ample of the value of the whole being greater than the sum of its parts. Such fused images provide radiologists, nuclear medicine specialists, and other physicians with more meaningful data that provided by either image individually. Although the practice of merging images has been around for some time, at least in a rudimentary form, recent advances in both hardware and, particularly, software technology have taken this process to a new, more practical and efficient level.
Methods of image fusion
The first and most common method of image fusion is "mental fusion," in which two images are placed side by side and the radiologist attempts to mentally overlay the images in his or her mind. This is the most basic and inexpensive form of image fusion. "The only expense involved in this method is the time of the individual performing it," said Thomas J. Hook, senior vice president, CTI Molecular Imaging, Inc., Knoxville, TN. "The true costs of this method, however, are the errors that are made in trying to reach accurate conclusions by looking at the images without overlaying them. Obviously, the cost can be quite severe if there is a missed diagnosis or a misreading of the exam."
The next method of fusing images involves overlaying the images either manually or through the use of simple software programs that scale and align the images. The difficulty with this method is the ability to accurately align two images acquired at different times. "A human is not a static object," noted Hook. "Organs within the body move, the person moves. So software that does simple rigid registration typically allows you to do a better job than the mental fusion, but it's still a relatively simplistic approach and you still end up with mismatches in the two images."
The third level of fusion is one in which a combined image is obtained on a hybrid imaging device, such as a PET/CT scanner. The benefits of such a system include the ability to acquire both images in the same plane at the same time. The drawbacks are the considerable capital costs associated with purchasing a hybrid imaging system and the fact that the images are still fused based on a rigid software algorithm.
There are times, however, when such hardware-based fusion imaging is the method of choice. "There are certain clinical applications in which it is beneficial to have all the information gathered at the same time, for example, in cardiac applications where it is difficult to synchronize the images if you don't acquire the information at the same time." said Christian P. Behrenbruch, PhD, CEO of Mirada Solutions, Ltd., Oxford, UK.
Hardware fusion can also, at times, increase clinical throughput. "Having the fusion on hardware can mean that the clinical throughput is faster and the image quality may be better," said Behrenbruch. "Scheduling a greater number of patients for imaging in a shorter period of time is also beneficial."
For patients, as well, hardware fusion can be beneficial. "Hardware-based fusion brings benefit to the patient," said Clare Jones, vice president of marketing at Mirada, "because they only have to undergo one scan rather than two." Image distortion and decreased resolution are still a possibility with simultaneous image acquisition. This can cause misalignment between the center and peripheral areas. The use of sophisticated fusion software can address this problem.
A new level of fusion
"Those are the three initial levels of fusion," said Hook. "The Mirada Reveal MVS workstation (Mirada Solutions and CTI Molecular Imaging) adds a whole different level to fusion imaging because Mirada brings what's called 'non-rigid' or 'non-linear' fusion capability to the table."
With a nonrigid or deformable technique, one image is manipulated to match the other. "Rather than trying to match up entire datasets--for example, the entire PET dataset with the CT dataset--you try to line up various regions or more localized densities or areas of information that match up and then deform the shape of the PET image to make it fit the shape of the CT image," said Todd Deterding, senior product manager for CTI. " The image quality of the PET image remains the same, but it is placed in the context of the CT, where it makes the most sense."
There are a variety of benefits associated with the use of this nonrigid, software-based fusion system. First, it can be used with images acquired at any time and on all types of modalities. "Ultrasound, X-ray, MRI, PET, CT--you can bring in all these modalities," noted Behrenbruch. "For example, you don't find an MR system bolted onto a PET system. The physics of creating such a system are challenging. Yet there are all kinds of applications, such as in neurology, where a radiologist would love to compare the results of MR and PET images."
"The Reveal MVS workstation can give you a 'pseudo device' even though those things don't exist," agreed Hook. "Obviously the more images you can 'morph' and overlay, the more power it gives the radiologist or nuclear medicine physician reading the exam to actually make a more definitive diagnosis."
Another advantage of software solutions is the ability to perform longitudinal comparisons. The user can compare images over time to assess treatment response or any other variable. "There are all kinds of possible applications," Behrenbruch explained. "When you have an oncology patient being worked up and they are about to be sent to surgery, by the time they are sitting on the operating table, hundreds of thousands of dollars have been spent on that person, probably including a PET scan, an MR, and a CT scan. The more information you can integrate to build a complete picture of what's happening inside the body, the better the benefit for the patient."
Other applications of deformable software-based fusion include use in comparing the results of contrast-enhanced breast MR and the metabolic activity from a PET image, particularly when assessing response to therapy over time. "If you are looking at liver lesions, a helpful modality for that is ultrasound," noted Behrenbruch. "So if you could do ultrasound/CT fusion, that would have a lot of practical applications, particularly when you want to start doing ablation."
Another benefit to the software-based solution is that it sits in your information domain and, therefore, provides flexibility when upgrading hardware components.
"If your PACS evolves, for example," said Behrenbruch, "you add a new plug-in and you get better DICOM connectivity, or if you switch to Web-based PACS, information-type applications can move with it. In the case of hardware-based fusion, the obvious disadvantage is that if you want to upgrade your hardware system-for example, if you want to use a different detector material or you want to upgrade to a 132-slice CT scanner when it becomes available-you would then have to have someone upgrade part of your system or send it to the factory for a couple of weeks. So software fusion has intrinsic value."
Economies of time and money
There are also economic benefits to this system in terms of both time and money. "The economic reality is that, sometimes just for dollars and cents reasons and sometimes for space considerations, a PET/CT is not an option for a provider," said Hook. "The only option may be to use a workstation with very sophisticated software to get a fused image."
"There are a lot of people doing functional imaging who don't have the economic clout to get a PET/CT scanner," said Behrenbruch. "There are also some very good operational examples as well in which PET/CT scanners are not practical, such as mobile machines." The cost of outfitting a coach for mobile PET/CT and the cost of driving an extra 10 tons of weight can be prohibitive.
The workstation-based system is also time efficient. "Fusion software used to be incredibly slow and labor-intensive," noted Behrenbruch. "You had to click lots of points down, or if it was a more sophisticated type of fusion, you had to wait-sometimes for a couple hours-for it to register the two images together. Today, it's instantaneous. With our platform, the average time to complete image fusion is about 20 seconds."
"In many cases it's not actually the radiologist performing these functions," added Jones. "With our fusion software it very well may be the technologist who performs the fusion and passes the case to the radiologist for review."
"That has been one of the challenges of fusion software," continued Behrenbruch. "Unless you can make the fusion really robust, you can't leave it in the hands of a technologist."
Combining software and hardware
Hardware- and software-based fusion are not mutually exclusive. "It's also equally powerful that that same MVS Reveal workstation can be used in a PET/CT environment," said Hook. "You can collect the same dataset on a PET/CT and still use the REVEAL MVS to remove even more errors from the fused images. It's really a tool to be used across the industry."
"Software is totally complementary with a hardware solution," concluded Behrenbruch. "There are very different reasons why you do each one. In the future, what we will see is software-based technologies augmenting the capabilities of both systems in terms of accuracy, longitudinal comparison, and in really integrating other modalities. It's like glue in a multiple imaging environment."

California Caboose
The first rider ever to be given the title 'Lantern Rouge' was Arsene Millocheau in the 1903 Tour de France. Named after the red lanterns hung at the end of freight trains so that conductors could see that the cars hadn't become disconnected, the title is bestowed to the rider who finishes in last place. In the 1903 Tour M. Millocheau arrived in Paris nearly 65-hours behind the race winner, Maurice Garin.
In a race as grueling as a Grand Tour even the sternest spectators can understand the struggle of a rider, particularly the lesser-known domestiques, who battle just to finish. The image of the last man home is a symbolic truth of the suffering of road racing, and it has become an honour in itself to be the Lantern Rouge. From the 1950s riders would hold their own slow-bicycle races to see who could finish dead last.
Roger Chaussabel, the Lantern Rouge of 1956, declared "I can't ride fast, I can't climb, I can't sprint… I'm a complete roadman. A Tour-man, therefore."
The Rapha 'Lantern Rouge Award' at the Amgen Tour of California:
In celebration of the glory of suffering, Rapha is proud to honor the Lantern Rouge each day of the Amgen Tour of California. The rider who crosses the line last each stage will be recognized with a unique Rapha Lantern Rouge cap, made specifically for and bestowed only to those racers who fight to finish last- rather than abandon. Each day before the stage depart the ATOC officials will present the Lantern Rouge rider alongside the jersey leaders.

text: The hotel rooms are very spacious. But its a old property. Maintenance is not upto mark. Could be better still. Location wise it's ideally located close to the railway station. Hospitality is pretty fine. Food is not good. Breakfast is not great. Room service is pretty slow. Overall a ideal property for late arrival and early check-out.

FARGO, N.D. — The University of Nebraska at Omaha women's basketball team fell just shy of defeating North Dakota State Saturday.
Paige Frauendorfer's 12-foot baseline jumper at the buzzer rimmed out as the Bison secured a 63-62 victory.
The Mavs nearly pulled off an improbable victory in the final seconds. Carolyn Blair-Mobley, who led UNO with 20 points, scored a layup with 13 seconds left to pull the Mavs within two. North Dakota State inbounded the ball and took a timeout due to UNO pressure. The Bison didn't have any timeouts remaining and were assessed a technical foul. The Mavs were to get two free throws and possession of the ball.
Frauendorfer missed the first foul shout but cashed the second one to make the score 63-62. She would go on to take the final shot on the nine-second final possession.
Frauendorfer finished with 15 points, six rebounds, four assists and four steals. Ericka House added 13 points, and Taijhe Kelly had 11 points, eight rebounds and six blocked shots. Blair-Mobley chipped in seven rebounds to her team-high point total.
Senior and Lincoln, Neb., native Katie Birkel led the Bison with 23 points. The preseason All-Summit League guard played the entire 40 minutes and made five 3-pointers.
UNO hosts South Dakota Thursday at 7 p.m.

This week's topic is about taking a day of rest from writing, and whether it's a necessary part of writing or a horrible and wretched sin.
Right up front, let me say that there is only one absolute sin when it comes to writing a novel. Not getting it done. That's it. Beyond anything else, you must finish the first draft, and the first revision, and all subsequent revisions. However you go about it is up to you, but you must have that moment when you look at the file on the computer, or you look at the stack of papers, and you say, "Done." There is no sin beyond not working for and having that moment. Anything else is just how you play the game.
One of the questions that I get asked a lot is, "How do you do it?" It's a fair question, and some people are actually asking exactly what it sounds like, but a far larger amount of people are actually trying to ask, "How can I do it?" And that's an entirely different question. It's also one I can't possibly answer. Every person is unique, and every writer is even MORE unique, and a system of writing that works wonderfully for one person might actually kill another writer's career, or even passion to write.
So, when talking about taking a day of rest, I can only answer what works for me, and that is that I simply don't do it. I write every day I exist. I can't help it. I don't want to help it. I've applied to no support groups. What does work for me is an occasional nap during the work day… a time where I sprawl out and read and then nod off for a half hour or so. Some authors would be horrified at the thought of losing an hour or two in the middle of the day, but for me it extends the day and refreshes my mind. Those horrified writers can toddle off with their own writing methodologies, and for those who do like to take naps in the middle of the day, I can only say that my bed is reserved between 4:00 and 5:30, so unless you're very pretty and either have a permission slip from my wife or a reasonably decent forgery, you'll have to go elsewhere.

Samsung CEO to Call Apple's Cook for One Last Settlement Chance

A trial could deeply hurt the pair's relationship, regardless of the outcome
Samsung Electronics Comp., Ltd.'s (
) and Apple, Inc. (
) will have one final talk before they take their case before a federal court jury in the United States, in
a war that could limit U.S. consumer selection
or grant artificial dominance in the smartphone market.
I. A Bitter Battle
As the
world's largest display manufacturer
and a top maker of DRAM, NAND, and mobile CPUs, Samsung is vitally important to Apple. Samsung makes the system-on-a-chip (SoC) brains
inside every iPad and iPhone
Yet in 2010, growing competition between the pair in the tablet and smartphone space prompted late Apple CEO Steve Jobs to
accuse Samsung
of "slavishly copying" his company's devices, filing suit in
U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California
. Samsung
hit back
shortly thereafter, and the war was on.
The court battle has been fierce.
Judge Koh has admonished both sides in the case, at times. [Image Source: IB Times]
Judge Lucy Koh
admonished Apple's lawyers
for belligerent filings, while earlier chastising Samsung from
destroying potential evidence
The case currently dangles in the realm of subjectivity.
While emails and internal documents demonstrate that Samsung was indeed
looking to imitate traits
of Apple's highly successful star tablet/smartphone, Apple was
shown to borrow ideas
for those devices from Samsung, Sony Corp. (
), and other players who predated its market entry.
There are some visual similarities between Samsung's original Galaxy S smartphone and the iPhone -- likewise for iPad and Galaxy Tab. There are also noticeable differences.
At the end of the day much of Apple's design claims boil down to its assertion that it
"owns" exclusive rights to produce rectangular tablets/smartphones
with rounded edges. Apple claims that
some tablets/smartphones
may be sufficiently different from the iPad/iPhone to escape design infringement, but its design experts have
struggled to quantify
discrete details of how Samsung and others can escape design infringement.
II. One Last Effort at Peace
Amidst this backdrop Samsung CEO Kwon Oh-hyun will call Apple CEO Tim Cook, in a final chance at settlement before the trial heads to the jury for a verdict.

At stake in the battle is the $219.1B (valuation by Bloomberg) smartphone market. Combined with the tablet sector, these two markets could easily eclipse a trillion dollars in the next several years.
Apple would love to gain a monopoly in the smartphone market, to complement its dominant position in the tablet space. But it has seemed sluggish in advancing the experience of its handheld devices opting for a
slower pace of changes
than Android. As a result Android devices today have many capabilities and hardware advantages that their Apple counterparts do not -- such as larger screens, LTE modems, and near field communications. Those factors have given Android phonemakers approximately 68 percent of the global market at last count [
To counteract that, it's taken up the sword. Apple is looking for $2.5B-$2.75B USD in infringement damages, as well as multiple sales bans on Samsung product -- a crippling outcome. It is still
pursuing similar terms
in its case against HTC Corp. (
), as well. In the U.S. only Motorola Mobility -- a Google Inc. (
) subsidiary is free from the wrath of Apple, after the pairs legal strife was
"with prejudice" by a federal judge.
III. Samsung Presents Quandary for War-maker Apple
The Samsung case is made unique by two factors.
First, Apple and Samsung are expected to do $12B USD in business in 2012, up 50 percent from the $8B USD in 2011. Without Samsung's chips Apple could not make its products. Fortunately, regardless of the lawsuit outcome, Samsung is contractually obligated to provide those chips to its archrival. But the danger for Apple comes for the future.
If it hurts Samsung too bad, Samsung could retaliate by refusing to renew chip production contracts. And given the level of design expertise employed by Samsung in making the chips -- particularly the SoC -- that could amount to almost a redesign for Apple of its smartphone chips. Further, quality would likely suffer --
initial trial runs with third-party fabs
reportedly did not go well for Apple; it was hard for them to match savvy Samsung's level of chip-making prowess.
Without Samsung, the iPhone could get a lot dumber. [Image Source: Snapguide]
Second, Samsung is the
largest of the Android phonemakers
, and the
only one to approach Apple
in profitability. However, the promise of killing Android's superstar offers powerful motivation in the other direction -- for war.
It was Judge Koh who suggested the second peacemaking effort, with Samsung and later Apple agreeing. The Judge called herself "pathologically optimistic" in her hope that this second round of intimate talks between company chiefs would produce
a different outcome
If it does not, the jury should be in for an arduous trial, as both companies -- after
initial reductions
-- argued that they were unable to further reduce their claims or exhibits. At least one member of the jury has
family members who reportedly hold a significant number of shares of Apple stock
, something Judge Koh said was okay, as the individual themselves would not directly profit off of damaging Samsung and boosting Apple. Still it's hard to imagine that couldn't introduce a certain level of bias in that member's mind.

RE: Apple WANTS a fight, not a settlement
Let me put this into perspective. Tonnes of modern weapon weaponary and concept were pioneered centuries ago, by a famous Leonardo Da Vinci. So theoretically, by Apple's stance EVERYONE, who copied Lenardo Da Vinci, including numerous famous gun companies should be sued by Da Vinci's family till they are penniless. Same should apply to PADs seen in Star Trek for the past 25 years. Only reason they weren't real 25 years ago, is because we could not create them. Same applies to Leo and his blueprints.
Let's be real here..... people have been copying shit for centuries. Or lets take the more modern example of Sony 20 years ago copied US designs and improved upon them with additional features and made them better.
Same can be applied to Apples and its competitors. No one ever sued, back then because the company has balls to innovate and create and expand their thinking, if they failed, they failed trying. Rather than saying "hey he copied my slide to unlock", which in itself was stolen as well.
Apple is a just a rich pussy kid who called daddy for help, now that there is a new kid in school who is taking his friends away.
"This week I got an iPhone. This weekend I got four chargers so I can keep it charged everywhere I go and a land line so I can actually make phone calls." -- Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg

GEDDES (AP) -- A project to clean up a heavily polluted lake in Central New York is set to begin.
Honeywell International officials tell the Syracuse Post-Standard they're continuing to prepare the shoreline of Onondaga Lake in Geddes as part of the cleanup.
Part of the lake bottom will be dredged and part of it capped to keep mercury and other chemicals from contaminating fish.
Dredging should begin this spring or summer and work is expected to last until 2016.
Honeywell succeeded Allied Chemical, which released mercury and other chemicals into the lake. Honeywell has agreed to spend $550 million and Onondaga County is spending $600 million.
From 1946 until 1970, Allied dumped about 165,000 pounds of mercury into the lake. It is on the federal Superfund list of toxic waste sites.

When we left Oswego, NY after getting Strathspey's mast stepped, we headed due north across Lake Ontario with a faint south wind pushing us home. Our early bird status was confirmed by the +6C water temperature and our solo sail all day. As we swung past Kingston, it was too funny as we both kept exclaiming and pointing out familiar landmarks and anchorages like we'd been away for years and years. But when we arrived at Trident Yacht Club around 5 pm, it was with no fanfare, pulling quietly into our old slip and securing ourselves like we'd only been away for a short weekend. We cracked open a bottle of bubbly that I had tucked away for the whole year in anticipation of this moment and we toasted each other and Strathspey for a fine year. At times Strathspey was a better sailor than I this year and I learned to trust that old adage that most often your sailboat can handle far more than you can. What a fine and wonderful boat to have carried us as swiftly and safely all those miles back here to Trident. Later that evening, Doug and Cathy from our sister ship Pleiades arrived to welcome us back in style with champagne, strawberries and chocolate; all the important food groups!
We worked hard for the next two days, cleaning out a year's accumulation of memories and dirt off Strathspey. We worked that is until the action became less of a sort and remove and more of just move it from here to there. Wisdom says that's when you should quit the cleanup. So on Friday night, Blair and I were ready to quit cleaning and joined the Trident Friday night social. We got all our embellishments straight and told lots of tall tales that night. Then we moved a year's worth of living into Trident's laundry room to await pickup by Heather and Paddy who arrived Saturday morning with both a truck and a car. And if you can believe it, we filled them both!
So right now, Strathspey is sitting pretty at dock. Sitting pretty and sitting a good deal higher in the water as well after Blair carted five huge loads up the dock making Strathspey rise a good 2.5 inches in the water. Our Canadian flag that flies from our stern has faded from a bright red to a threadbare orange this past year. We hear we've missed the worst winter for snow that Ottawa has had in years. It's spring, the peepers in our back yard are yelling "pick me, pick me", the lilacs are in bloom and now back here on dock, it's a good time to reflect.
People ask us what the highs and lows of the trip were. I have to say, the best parts were those deserted anchorages. Anchorages like Lee Stocking Island on a day so calm that, on a bet, we could have swam the 5 miles over to Brigantine Cays. We dinghied over instead and spent the best part of the day on flat, mirrored waters, snorkeling and paddling lazily along the shoreline. Highlights too were those out-of-the way towns like Fresh Creek, Andros where we boldly wandered through the small batik factory, sorting through the finished wares to find a set of placemats that will forever take us back to this remote area when we set a winter's table with them. Top shelf are the friends we made this year – friends from one end of the country to the other that will welcome us to dinner and long sessions of "remember when's". On the other hand, the lows are unforgettable as well; Dodging those skinny spots in the ICW, doing without refrigeration for six weeks in 85°F and of course, my least favourite, those following seas on long ocean passages with nothing but Saltines in my stomach.
People ask us, "Would you go again?" And we say, yes absolutely, but only after we've done more of the things on our "must do before rocking chair days" list. Number one on that list, as far as cruising is concerned, is to take Strathspey up to the North Channel of Georgian Bay and then perhaps on further north into Lake Superior. The North Channel is Blair's Mom and Dad's old stomping grounds, having sailed there for more than 20 years, so it would be wonderful to bring our own boat up there after all these years.
People ask us, "Are you sorry to be back? Are you dreading going back to work? Do you think you'll have trouble adapting to not being footloose and fancy-free?" No sorry, no dread, no trouble. This trip has given us stories for years to come and friends in all corners of the country to visit. This winter, we'll sit back in front of the fire and one of us will say "Do you remember when we got stuck behind Fowl Cay in 30 knots for four days and read five books between the two of us?" "Do you remember coming face-to-face with that Lionfish at Warderick Wells". "Do you remember rebuilding the head when it was 90°C and dead calm?". Actually, maybe we'll save the head stories for around the campfire at night to scare the children (or the non-sailors).
People ask us, "Is it hard? Do you need all the finest equipment? Do you think I can do it?" We are both in agreement that anyone with a well-found boat and some mechanical smarts can do this trip. In fact, maybe that isn't even the criteria because we saw many boats that made us wonder how they managed to get past Florida. The cruising community is full of people who are happy to help less competent boats along and maybe this is how these guys make it so far south.
People ask us if we've changed over this year. We say we're the same people we were when we left. A wise person once said, if it were that easy to change, more would. I suppose there's lots of reasons people go cruising but ours was pretty simple. We weren't feeling jaded, looking for a way to jump start our lives or anything like that. We just wanted a year to try this sailing thing while we were young and nimble enough. Living and sailing on a boat isn't exactly the lap of luxury and, although a good many steps above tenting, it does have much in common with that camping way of life.
We're glad to be back home in Ottawa with our friends and family and we're glad that Strathspey is snugged into her usual spot at Trident Yacht Club. We always appreciated this club but perhaps we had to take a trip away to realize how top shelf it really is. In the Bahamas, a yacht club like Trident would not hesitate to set it's rates around $4/foot/night. Coming back to this well-run club with it's brand new docks, beautiful grounds and involved membership is a real pleasure. We look forward to sailing Lake Ontario this summer and tucking into those great anchorages in the Thousand Islands. We look forward to those bright mornings, waking up to the loons' calling and feeling that cool before the hot, hot July sun takes over. We look forward to diving into those clear waters to cool off at midday. It's like Dorothy said, "There's no place like home. There's no place like home".
And now this story is done.
