It’s pretty cool to see your name in the local media.  A big part of this launch was to hlep with the public awareness in the Kingston area and I think we are on the right track.  Lindsey Fair has done an amazing job of getting the media on board with this project. 

We got three mentions on the local TV station and a couple of mentions on the radio which is good.  I’m going to pick up a copy of the piece on CKWS TV in the next couple of days.  I’ll upload it to youtube if the licence agreement allows.  (It probobly won’t.)

I have to admit that it’s a little weird having everyone know what’s going on in my life.  I’m still trying to find the proper response when people say, “Heh, I saw you on the news last night.  What a cool project!”  I’m generally leading folks to the MST website and the sponsorship page.  (You can download the CYA form for tax deductable donations on that page.)  It is also nice to have some money trickling in.  As nice as it is to be a “celebrity” and all, it really is about raising funds to get sailing. 

Hope everyone in Ontario is safe and sound out of the crazy weather.  It’s nasty out there.
