A little shameless self-promotion here!I just wanted to share the story of my Vega, Tarka. I'm sailing her around the world to raise money for the Coral Reef Alliance, a charity that works with communities to protect coral reef ecosystems. For each dollar raised, I am pledging to sail an equivalent distance. Right now my goal is $10,000, which will "get me across the Pacific". Of course, I have to get myself across the Pacific. www.theadventuresoftarka.com/fundraiserI am of course blogging the whole adventure, and will eventually be posting a video blog, as well. The blogs are up-to-date within a week, but the videos will lag behind. The blog and related social media accounts can be found here:www.theaventuresoftarka.comhttps://www.facebook.com/tarka adventureshttps://www.instagram.com/adve nturesoftarka/https://www.youtube.com/channe l/UCQnn8YwfzT8_TyJMswv6EhgTarka has an interesting story already. She has once been around the world when she was still named Tarka the Otter. http://americanvega.org/images/Tarka_the_Otter.pdfI'm also here, of course, posting my frequent woes and questions regarding various MX items, and seeking the wisdom of people who actually know what they're doing! - BryanS/V Tarka
