Introduction

My name is Garrett, and I'm starting this blog in order to document my adventures on my new sailboat, which I've called the Ripple.

This is the Ripple, my 1981 Aloha 27 (8.2)

The Ripple is my 1981 Aloha 27 (or 8.2 for those metric fans in the crowd). I just bought her on March 30th, 2016, after YEARS of talking about buying a sailboat. Needless to say, I'm quite excited.

The idea of this blog will be to keep a fun record of my adventures both on the boat, and just owning the boat. Having never done this before, I'm sure there will lots of interesting stories... (hopefully not TOO interesting!)
