      What is a blowboat
      which way does the warm wind blow
      Im lashed to the mast


      GINSU - KNIFE     EASTPORT , MAINE   USA


    Ginsu Knife was the name of my sailboat that I sailed for years
   here on the Maine coast and into the Bay of Fundy, Canada.
    That boat could slice and dice the strong currents and cut
   through the Downeast fog like a hot knife through butter.

    After my wife died and it was just me and my daughter , age 9, I was
    after something that we could do together.
    I looked at airplanes and boats. Im a pilot and had a grass airstrip in 
     the back field, but I lived on the coast.
     I ended up with a sailboat , though I did not know how to sail.
   Well , we learned to sail and did lots of it, plus it was a good weekender 
    with cozy bunks and and a nice little stove.
     Best decision I ever made.
    Daughter went on to being an ocean exploration team leader and sailing 
     coach at a summer camp.
    Yes , she is quite salty.  As is her daughter.
     Family tradition.
