Making progress toward my first Sydney-Hobart. The biggest hurdle-getting on a crew-is still there but I will continue toward my goal. Sailing CV updated, Visa application done. Taking leave of absence so I can be in Sydney three weeks before racing. Fingers crossed.
Life is short. Have adventures!

Any antique furniture specialists here? I am trying to identify this sideboard. It is turn of the century, mahogany. I am told it was made in Britain and is unusual.
