Was poking around the website of rigger Brion Toss, and ran across the following article. Found it interesting and thought-provoking enough that I wanted to share it with my sailFar friends. Smiley

Enjoy!

Kurt:

Thanks for posting that. It's beautifully written and very interesting for a variety of reasons.

I think SAIL has a prize named after Freeman.

When I worked for a magazine (remember those things?) in the pre-digital age (only a few years ago), our art director had to pick cover art from slides. We didn't use Billy Black very often because he was too expensive, but the big mags like Sail and Cruising World often used, and still use, his work. If you ever get to meet him, Billy's also a great guy.

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.  -Mark Twain
