Fall Projects

I know, I know…we haven’t posted in a loooong time.  When I sat down to write this post I wasn’t sure what I was going to write about because I didn’t think we had worked on many projects around the boat.  I recently bought an Aeropress coffee maker and was going to write about that. […]
