1-14-12  It seems our life changes in major ways almost daily.  Today is no exception, in fact how today and tomorrow plays out may determine if we even go sailing this year at all. The strange thing is, as always we are just fine with that.  Our personality type lends itself well to fluidity.  I’m sure our […]

The last few days preparing to leave have been wild.  But this morning is different… I’m sitting here at the lakehouse looking out the big windows and a bald eagle just landed in a big tree in the yard…  It’s dead quiet except for the light wind filtering thru the tree branches….. pretty serene.

This weekend we join our friends Katie and Dean from “Our Way Too” at Portofino Marina for a potluck dinner and an evening of watching the 50th Annual Kemah Christmas Boat Parade.  I grew up in the Kemah area (Texas City to be exact) and I hate to admit I had never gone to the […]

We enjoyed a visit from Katie and Dean from s/v Our Way Too and “the kids”, Matt and Christie formerly from s/v Kaleo.  Matt and Christie are charter members of the “Texas Navy”.  Kaleo sold this week.  “The kids” are adjusting to land life but I know their cruising days are not over.  Katie just […]
