Vessel Inspector, Sam Ginn suits up every day to plunge into Washington’s icy Puget Sound. An essential item in his kit is a Rite in the Rain’s Notebook. Sam inspects and repairs boats for a living, so his notes get soaked routinely during his workday. For a guy who spends most of his workday underwater, having splash-proof notes saves him a lot of trouble.
