to celebrate the 200k milestone, I am going to have a t-shirt giveaway (my treat)! the t-shirt will be from gybe-ho boatwear, an awesome supplier of boating and sailing apparel (custom-made gear, too).  the winner of the giveaway will have their choice of a 100% polyester moisture wicking t-shirt with a nice Great Lakes design on the front, in their choice of navy or titanium.

  • to enter the contest, you need to leave a comment on this blog post (you can enter your name as “anonymous”, or whatever you like really) – but I will need an email to contact you if you are chosen as the winner!
  • no specific requirement for the comment itself, but I will moderate if need be!
  • multiple comments do not equal multiple entries!
  • after 1 week, I will randomly select a commenter to receive the free t-shirt.  I will get your t-shirt color and size, and then I will send the winner’s email address to gybe-ho, and they will contact you to get your mailing address to they can ship the t-shirt directly to the winner.

  5. Hi, I am enjoying your site. I received my first sunfish last August and I am still learning to sail. Your site has had some great advice for a beginner.

    Congrats, Tad, on all the views and not burning out in four years. I can’t pass up the random contest, but I hereby disqualify myself from winning, because if I won I would have to share the shirt with Dr. Seuss. But I wanted to let you know that I appreciate you’re stopping by our blog, and I’ll keep coming back here even though I don’t have the slightest idea about sailing. Who know, maybe you’ll change that.

    • OP, rhyming this early in the morning? Impressive. Sailing is a lot like kayaking: sitting on a small craft, gliding along the surface of the water, with a high probability of having fun AND getting wet. You have to paddle, I harness the power of the wind.

  19. Ah-oh! Look what happened when I clicked your link:

    avast! saved your computer from crashing

    You just dodged a bullet

    You may be wondering how you ended up with a virus, especially if you were visiting a ‘normal’ site. The latest research from the avast! Virus Lab shows that more than 80% of malware (viruses, spyware, and the like) spreads through legitimate websites, with only 1% coming from suspicious or ‘dodgy’ sites.
    Good thing avast! had your back.
