I had the pleasure of delivering a sailboat from Richmond to the docs of the Afterguard Sailing Academy in an effort to finished my Basic Coastal Cruising course. Next up is the Bareboat charter and then the Catamaran class. Now I just need to find the time to squeeze it in. We are off to Bahamas for 5 days of Diving this month. Perhaps I can find time in August. What I would do for a couple weekends with nothing planned. Sounds refreshing. I just can't catch up. Friday I was Tuna fishing out of HMB, Saturday was the 4th of July block Partner and Sunday I was finishing up my Sailing certification. Very busy and eventful weekend. If I am not doing any of the above then I am either playing soccer or watching my 12 year old play. In addition to that I do have a day job and in my spare time i help out with www.diversone.com which by the way is really starting to take off.
I am at a time in my life where no matter what i decide to do there is something else that I have to pass on. I am doing my best to balance family, work and play and still strive to achieve goals and dreams. Don't get me wrong. Life is pretty good even though the economy is in the tank. I still feel very lucky to be me, but oh do I look forward to a simpler life.
Special thanks to Mary from AfterGuard Sailing Academy for taking and sending this photo of me at the helm crossing the slot with the Golden Gate bridge in the background. Mary has an unending wealth of knowledge that she passes on to her customers going above and beyond what is required for the class. Awesome!
