I haven't been very adventurous so far this winter. I've been busy selling cool outdoor gear, gadgets and clothes at Great Outdoor Provision Company. During my downtime, I've been daydreaming about places I want to go, and gear I'll need for those adventures. I've already got a list going for next summer. Today my list just got shorter. My roommate gave me a deck compass for Christmas!

Now, I've got a new gadget to learn to use. I hope to teach myself to navigate in open water without reference points. Maybe I'll brave the cold and take it out for a test run after Christmas.
