Deborah Scaling Kiley: Albatross

Experiment:

Deborah Scaling Kiley and a crew that totalled 6 set out in October, 1982, on the Trashman, a 58-foot yacht, from Maine to Florida. Captain John, Meg and Deborah sailed from Maine to Annapolis. From there, they added two additional crew members: Mark and Brad.

Continuing their voyage without charts, the crew encountered high seas and gale winds off the coast of NC during the second day of their journey.

Now more than ever, it's easier for Google to track every move you make online.

I made a few small changes:

- Added a search bar on the right hand side (because I couldn't find an old post and needed)

- Removed one of the ad units from the single page listing so it's easier to read single pages

Still preferring this theme with this color layout for now.

I keep testing the ebay plugins (the SUV post earlier this week uses a different one)

Interesting read from CNN about George Washington's still:

At its peak, the distillery produced 11,000 gallons of liquor, which fetched the then-astronomical sum of $7,500.

"Washington was making what today would be called rye whiskey," White said. "It was about 60 percent rye, 35 percent corn and about 5 percent malted barley." Though it was probably distilled several times, White said modern distillers would consider it "white lightning, mad dog, moonshine" -- clear, young and sharp-tasting.

"We do think that he drank his own," she said in an interview.
