David is nothing but smiles during a sailing day. The longer at sea, the scruffier he is…and the bigger the grin.

In September 2004, David and I took a driving trip from Washington, DC to Nova Scotia. We drove completely around Nova Scotia and every night we’d stop and camp somewhere, pull out the computer and start writing up the application for a particular patent. Getting away from our business for those two weeks, we not only had a lovely trip, but we were able to get the application completed and turned in by our deadline for it. It took many years for that patent to issue. It just issued late this spring 2011. I was looking through pictures today and decided to post a slide show of our trip. There are pics of Buttercup getting a new alternator bracket made up behind the Ace Hardware store, David writing on a picnic table next to the car, and many photos of back road driving and a very lovely time in Nova Scotia.
