While there may be good reason for tinting all the windows of a cruising boat, I prefer it otherwise for my mood on a boat. Turning a sunny day into a gloomy view outside does not contribute to a positive outlook.

Recovering Warriors Go Sailing
The problems facing returning veterans with injuries is a bigger issue than most realize. The Naval Academy and the National Sailing Hall of Fame teamed up with other organizations to develop a program to get these veterans on the water sailing. They hope to offer a healthy alternative to move these recovering warriors away from the downward spiral that occurs when there are few options without the support they grew to rely on in uniform.
