[edit] about me

I am a part time sailor, full time employee at a maritime meuseum, past arborist, sailboat rigger and wilderness search and rescue volunteer with a degree in philosophy and the history of math and science. I like to take things apart to see how they work.

[edit] current interests on Wikipedia

I have a particular interest in improving the articles about square rigged ships, particularly Clipper's, packets's, barquentine's

[edit] Climbing Terminology

I have noticed a tendency to use the general term climbing to refer exclusivly to rock climbing. I am interested in disambiguating this word, and generalizing the "climbing"articles to refer to the full range of vertical, roped activities.
