Hi Russ!

Great article!
Never knew he had such a passion for boats!
Even into designing and manufacturing them.
Not only is he a talented musician, song writer, performer and producer but is also a creative boat designer/builder who appreciates the collaborative process needed to make concepts into reality. He also has the wherewithal to be open and critical of his own work.
Quite refreshing and impressive to be honest.

There are several quotable points that can be easily related :D :D to by just about any boat owner:
“I appreciate sailboats, and I appreciate the seamanship of people who sail, but eventually I want to get back to land. It’s like, “Why are you going this way when the land is over there?”
” After I got the boat, it was like I was watching money jump out of my wallet. There was this constant sucking sound.”
Thanks for posting this!

Best Regards
