This blog feels like going back in time.
I don't know if anyone is still out there, but if so I thought I would update you on where I have been, and what I have been doing.
I haven't built a boat in a while. I have been working out how to turn boats into a business. I know many smart people (including boat makers) have said that you can't make money doing it, but I think things have changed. I also think there is an opportunity to change the way boats are made. We shall see.
Another update is that I went back to school again. This time for my masters in design. I am almost done, so that should be exciting. I am hoping to teach some, but otherwise I don't have a plan.
And last but not least, I kickstarted a product. You can check out the campaign here. I know it's funded, but I still need your support. This could be backing for a lamp, or it could simply be sharing the link with your network. There is also lots to read and look at on my website www.avbates.com.
Finally, I hope everyone doing the 340 this year is having a blast. I feel the pull of the current and really want back on the water.
Take care.

Tracking
Hey everyone.
So I am still putting the final touches on the boat, but it has been in the water and everything is working as planned. I want to quickly share the race tracking page: http://www.raceowl.com/
I have also gotten a Spot Tracker for the race which should provide updates in real time. I haven't got it all figured out, but I will be sure to post the link when I do. I also may be able to post directly to here, but I am not sure yet. Stay tuned.
I have to keep working so this post will end here, but I will try to post video and you can expect my usual pre-race anxiety-filled post tomorrow night for sure.
We head for Kansas City, Kansas tomorrow morning.
Now, back to work....

Anyone? Anyone?
Been a long time without a post and though I ought to catch you up, but I don't have time.
Here are some pics and a video for you to look at and I will talk to you soon. Mom is on her way and I am deep in the build, so: onward.
