Not much to report aside from my training is going fairly well – just plugging away at the training program my coach Jason Yanota made up for me. The riding is all inside on the mag trainer which, for shorter-harder workouts, isn’t so bad.

I’ve been in dental hell since getting a pile of work done on November 24th. One of the crowns abscessed and now I need a root canal – scheduled for today, gulp!

I picked up the January issue of Men’s Journal and I’m on page 22 which is kind of cool! Check it out:

We ordered the materials for the new ocean crossing boat (carbon, core, etc) and we’ll start construction as soon as Stuart Bloomfield finishes the drawings and the materials arrive.

I’ve hired local composites guy Ken from Stratto Composites, and we’re going to start building the new boat in his basement. We will start with laying up flat carbon panels, then trace and cut out the cured panels, then lay them into a jig and seam together to form the hull. This method of boat building is called ‘developable panels’.

I have a short demo video and a FREE PDF photo book available for download called “Bold!”:

This book is also available in PRINTED form. Let me know if you would like one and I can direct you to a site where you can order it for $6.00

Motivational speaking is a lot of fun for me, it’s a great way to spread my message about the benefits of being active.
