Who's ready to dive in?! That pun has never been more intended than it is today because Matt has been thinking about Ahoy for a long time and finally wants to start dissecting it in earnest. To assist in this endeavor is another Ahoy convert: Lord of the Board! He's deemed this summer the summer of Ahoy, and we couldn't agree more, so come hear our first thoughts on getting started with Ahoy and how to start thinking about it more ...
