Friends of the Sea

Just off the boat from a six day tour of Lake Michigan, I can report that the walls are still swimming from rough seas as we disembarked from Manitowac, Wisconsin. Also, the captain of the fine vessel that carried me about liked the Recluse and White Pines CDs I played for him a great deal. We listened to them under sail, running down from Sturgeon Bay, at the foot of Door County. I am looking forward to seeing old friends and hopefully making some new ones at our upcoming barbecued house show. And I hope that many of you check out a new friend of Jumberlack, Manwolf, whose website we will be designing. You can check out his music on his MySpace page. I am too off-kilter from my time adrift and will write more soon. Until then, this is your First Mate signing off. - Dylan
