              Building 
                  Versus Sailing 
                  Paul brings up a question that raises guilt in some builders. 
                  Some spend time building, but don't really want to sail much. 
                  Others can't wait to sail. The answer...  |

                  his first Captaincy in a boat which his Dad and he built years 
                  ago, but not everything went smoothly.  |

                  a "Terminal Trawler"
