Informal gatherings of sail, human, electric and low powered small boats, and those who love them, throughout the Northwest, but particularly within an area convenient for residents of Oregon's Willamette Valley. We also discuss our other boating adventures, boatbuilding projects and dreams.

"Believe me, my young friend, there is nothing -- absolute nothing -- half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats. Simply messing... about in boats -- or with boats. In or out of 'em, it doesn't matter. Nothing seems really to matter, that's the charm of it. Whether you get away, or whether you don't; whether you arrive at your destination or whether you reach somewhere else, or whether you never get anywhere at all, you're always busy, and you never do anything in particular; and when you've done it there's always something else to do, and you can do it if you like, but you'd much better not."
