…this blog is written? …how much you need to own more and or better gear? Either way you can! I'm actually going to be helping out at Hampton Watersports on Saturday for the Spring swap meet. I'll be one of the guys in back, asking you things like "where do you sail?" and "will…

Ponquogue was smooth and organized (if not very big) Saturday, and Christian, Peconic Jeff, New Jeff, Tomas and yours truly got on it and had some fun. I also got to try out my roll bar GoPro mount on the paddle. It felt like a great warm-up day (which I sorely need)…would love to do…

Long Island's Zeptember swap meet returns on the 19th at Hampton Watersports. You know the drill: If you're selling, drop off your gear during the week preceding (or arrive early that Saturday morning). If you're buying, bring your money!
