I visited the Left Coast Development shop today, it is owned and operated by Jim Lee, aka my pointy haired boss (he's actually just mostly bald). He's a really funny and relaxed guy who decided to get into the boat building business. After one year of work they've yet to finish a boat, but they're getting close. In the mean time he's making money selling the 'Simple Stereo' which
is a control box that you plug in a 12v battery, speakers, and your iPod and it plays music. Good for a car, boat, RV, or kayak (if you want to tow along a battery, which in my case is worth it for music, hehe). Anyhow, you can check out his website if you want to see picture of the boat he's building, "The Dart"In the evening I went out with Jim in his J-35 sailboat and participated in the Anacortes Yacht Club weekly race. Jim isn't competitive since his crew consists of his wife, kids 3 (ages 15-9), and who ever he finds durring the week, but it's always fun to get out and sail. His boat is actually a racing boat and gets going quite fast. Despite only a small wind we had a great time sailing.
