As 2012 draws ever closer to an end, I want to take this opportunity to say thank you to all who have read my blog and shared in my adventures and creations.

It is not easy writing about a passion that so many others write about on a regular basis. My fear is that it has become an over used cliché. But then again, I never really let fear get in the way of doing what it was I wanted to do.

I appreciate you all sharing my triumphs and disasters both on the water and at the “bench”. Your comments meant a lot and knowing that someone actually cared about “what happens next” kept me writing the next post.

I cannot promise 2013 posts will be any better than 2012, but I am wanting to give it a whirl if y’all are willing to read it.

So, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all of you and to each of yourn. May the Spirit of this Blessed Holiday keep you all healthy, happy, safe and protected and many returns on the coming new year!

Tight Lines!

Jim
