I wanted to take a second and introduce myself and the website my wife and I just launched, www.threesheetsnw.com. Would love to get your feedback. I think we are thinking along similar lines. If you are interested, perhaps we can grab a cup of coffee soon and see if there are any opportunties to partner. I don't have anything formed in my mind, just a notion that an alliance of some sort is possible. We haven't done much to promote our site yet, but have plans to do so in the months ahead. We are focused for the time-being on getting more content posted and working out the bugs. Still, we've been encourage by the steady growth in readers. Deborah and are are also avid sailors as well as fomer reporters for the Seattle Times and Seattle PI. Hope to chat with you soon. Cheers, Marty Hi Tim,
