I have been looking at some of the you tube videos on the Bahamas.  There’s some good stuff out there that really brings me back.  I recognize all the places because my wife and I have been there on our catamaran.. most of them many times.  Some of the video should be sponsored by the […]

I have been following the Volvo Ocean Race of 2014-15.  It’s an amazing 39,000 mile 8 month race around the world on identical 69′ carbon fiber sail boats.  You can find the site at www.Volovooceanrace.com   I highly recommend watching the 5th leg that’s happening now as they transit the Southern Ocean, the most remote […]

Spring officially starts tomorrow!  Last week the temps ranged from near freezing to 84 degrees.  Somewhere in the middle of that would be just fine.  I love warm weather, probably because of my affinity for water.  Lets see, I think I got 2 new boats since last post…. You can’t have too many you know…… […]

It’s the last week of February, I know it’s go-sailing time because I got the email from Chris Parker (the sailing weather guru) that my subscription is about to expire.  We always re-upped before leaving for the Bahamas to make sure we had access to his great weather information.  I guess we will be saving […]

So far this year has been a new experience.  A life changer….  When you relocate to a new work location there’s always that propensity to “re-invent” yourself because your always meeting new people.  This year I have been working too many hours to get a feel for Baton Rouge.. how I fit in it, much […]

Happy New year everybody…..  The campaign slogan “Hope and Change” still seems to be our mantra.  An unpopular slogan for sure, but change can be good…. if YOU thought of it…. I have come to understand and identify three very different responses to change.  1. The first is exemplified by government edicts that have a […]

When we started this blog it was mainly to keep our family and friends in touch with us while we were on our grand adventure, sailing in the Exumas.  A secondary reason was to have a permanent record of our trip to enjoy later on when memory fails, which for me seems to be sooner […]

Fall weather is amazing isn’t it?  The cool mornings and bright sunny days are hard to beat this time of year.  My morning starts when I get in the car at 5:14 AM, we are not on long hours yet so I don’t get to work until 6:30.  Mornings are cool and nice with a […]

Well…… every day is still a possible life changing experience with Linda and me, but things are actually a bit more settled since my last post. Linda and I are currently in Baton Rouge with our RV.  I’m working again, which is unfortunate and nice all at the same time… lol.   It feels good to a man to […]

I have been pretty busy at the lake house since I got home…. The condenser fan on the outside AC unit was getting hot and eventually quit.  I replaced it this week.  We have a large dehumidifier in the storage building that has been running full time for two years.  I put a timer on it […]
