Come Sail Away by Styx. I love that song. Anyway it was playing the other day as Jane and I were getting ready to hoist the anchor in Durham Creek on the Pamlico River. It seemed like a fitting way to start the day. It also reminded me of this video that I made during a class a couple of seasons ago and since I’ve updated the site I decided to try to embed it in a post. Teaching people to sail is how I make my living, a part of it anyway. I have a channel on YouTube called BoatBumzTV. There isn’t much up there now but that will change shortly. Jane and I will be adding more videos of various aspects of living aboard and the cruising lifestyle. I will also be adding some videos to supplement and enhance some of the things I teach such as diesel engine repair, electronics installation and trouble shooting. Jane has already documented how to reupholster your cushions and it will go up shortly. (Right Jane?) I hope you find it useful. If you’ve got suggestions of things you’d like to see, let us know by subscribing to either the Boat Bumz blog or BoatBumzTV.

Jane and I have a lot of exciting things going on right now. We are adding several new locations to our sailing school! We will still keep our office in “Lil” Washington, NC but we are moving our main office…
When the Outboard Won’t Start
Let me start out by saying, I’m not a big fan of outboards. They are a cantankerous device that is designed specifically to produce stress and are the primary reason sailors cuss. I’m convinced that since most of them are…
Ahoy Ya’ll
Revamping the site again! Stay tuned….
