Madmen Across the Water
Hello LSYC friends and family! In the last couple of weeks we have had a lot of fun! I count 8 different boats that have placed in the top 3 in our recent events. I know when I watch some of you race, it is like watching madmen across the water. Especially when there is…

The Life
The Kenny Chesney song- The Life- is stuck in my head. Please find it and listen to it as you read this and you can ride along with my good mood. (Lyrics are pasted below) You see, I just got back from a tiny fishing island 30 miles south of Roatan, Honduras. The local fishermen…
