Chances are, you already know something about me/us, but just in case you don't, here's a bit of history.
Tempus Fugit is the name of a sailboat. This particular sailboat is an S2 (manufacturer) 8.0 meter (length) B model. She was built in 1978, and is currently berthed in Port Dover, Ontario.
This blog is primarily a light-hearted look at sailing, boats, boat projects, and life in and around Norfolk County. (Mostly, as it relates to sailing) The blog was inspired partly in jest, to supplement (or compete with, depending on how you look at it) another blog by a friend of ours, Mr. Brian Jones. Brian writes a blog called 'Dock Six Chronicles' on this site, with similar goals in mind. The difference, as in real estate, is location, location, location.
While we share space in the same Marina in Dover, Tempus Fugit lives on Dock 2, while Brian and his Georgian 23, Whiskeyjack, abide on Dock 6. There's quite a bit of friendly rivalry about which location is better, and why, and I invite you to read and follow both blogs, and decide for yourself! A link to 'Dock Six Chronicles' (henceforth to be shortened to D6C) will be posted here, just as soon as I can figure out how to do that.
My name is Andy Elkin. I'm the skipper of Tempus Fugit. My lovely wife, the Admiral Yvonne Elkin is owner and consequently chief decision maker for the vessel. We've got 4 young(ish) kids who enjoy boat time and sailing in varying degrees, from obsession to take-it-or-leave it. You'll learn more about all of us in bits and pieces as the blog develops.
Some things to look forward to in future editions:
- Do-it-Yourself mainsail making
- various boat projects
- the building of a plywood stitch-and-glue dinghy
- various links and information about sailing Lake Erie
Now that you've found us, please come back often!
