More projects underway:
On June 15, I submitted two seed grant
proposals that I'm associated with, to the Maine Technology Institute
(MTI). To find out what these proposed projects are all about, come to one
of my upcoming seminar/shows...see dates below...
Busy in Maine...boats, bikes, guitars...and work:
I've been racing on some other boats, primarily as tactician aboard a
vintage Farr 43 "Revolution II". This has been fun as we are now leading
the season series. Maine is a tactically a very challenging racing venue
so this has been great practice.
It has been good to be practicing guitar playing again...perhaps I'll have
to issue a new CD...and also getting back in cycling shape. The latter has
been harder than I thought, perhaps I'm getting older? Nah!
Rumbleseat Rigging:
In case you didn't know, I'm available for consulting on rigging,
performance tuning, navigation and communication, offshore weather access and
analysis, etc, through my business Rumbleseat Rigging. Trying to put to use what
I've learn on the water over all those years. Drop me a note at
rumbleseat@earthlink.net, or
bruce@bruceschwab.com, if you'd
like to pick my brain....
