So not much blogging activity has happened in the last couple of weeks, and I don't honestly expect much to follow in the next few either. After finishing class a couple weeks ago, I took a week-long sailing trip on my dad's sailboat Augusta with my lady Aimee, and friends Christian and Jesse. We bashed to windward half the time, cruised pleasurably downwind a quarter of the time, and spent the remainder motoring about. We did, however, spend nearly 100% of the time freezing our asses off. Twice the slow-globe soap dispenser froze solid, and blowing smoke rings without smoking was always an option. Yet we prevailed regardless. Fun was had, animals were observed, noises were made, fires were built, meat was eaten, and new memories shaped. Our route took us north as far as Bellingham (well, technically Matia Island), and although a week may seem long to some, it was really just a bite-size portion of a much more satisfying meal that is the entirety of the San Juan Islands (Canadian and US). Anywho, I'm back in the real world now, and today I did a sea-trial on the Safari Explorer which lasted most of the afternoon/evening. I officially start work tomorrow, up at the butt-crack of 6:00am to get started on a full analysis on the Safari Spirit's five engines. Whee! With only 3 weeks left to wrap up my life at 526 N 102nd St, I am a bit stressed out. On my platter I have 3 main events: 1. Moving out of the house, terminating lease, doing restorative housework, etc. 2. Get the Safari Spirit completely ready for the 2009 Alaska season (maintenance, cleaning, supplies, etc). 3. Get my 4Runner street legal and driving. All of this has to be done by April 30th - yikes! So if posts are infrequent - do not let your faith wain, for I will be back in full picture-posting, story-telling, audio-recording business soon after this D-date. Until then, take a peek at some pictures!
Cheers,
Danny
