I would have been saying it within the first frame. The best pizza so far goes to a place on Ocracoke Island, N.C. <br />Sailing - it's basically sitting around staring waiting for weather or parts!

Such ...I totally understand why you miss Sal's! Such good pizza. We didn't think All is Lost was good at all. So many inconsistencies and "mistakes". Non-sailors like the movie better, I think. Living your life by the weather gets old after a while. It is one of the reasons why we are so happy on shore right now. I was like you, I rather read books that had nothing to do with sailing! The log entry format is interesting to people new to the lifestyle. I like reading yours, because I am curious about your thought process and decisions, but in the publishing world (like magazines and such) log entry-type stories are discouraged, because they show too many details that might not be interesting enough to the readership.

Better for living through, for sure.<br /><br />To answer the questions: my favorite pizza is the ones I make at home with my younger son. I think Tillamok, Oregon, has the best cheese. And I didn't see the movie. I usually don't :)Rebecca M.
