I obviously am not good at blogging and haven't posted in ages! I spend all my mad blogging efforts on my photography site. Which doesn't receive much attention, either! However, we do tend to take pictures wherever we go and lead slightly more than boring lives, thus I am here to share!!! : )
Since I have pics for the past couple of years I never posted (and still would like to), I figured I'll feature some blasts from the past mixed with current happenings. So fun!
Memorial Weekend for 2010 found Conor and I sailing the seas. He got an itch for sailing and missed his days in Minnesota on a catamaran. We signed up for sailing lessons near Galveston and had quite the adventure. After our training class, tests, and going out several times on the boat and learning how it all works, we set sail! Those things I've always known as ropes--no, they are "lines" on a boat. Port refers to the left side of the boat and Starboard (they all pronounced it Starbird--maybe it's the Texan in them?) is the right side. There was the captain and several other people on the boat with us. We cooked, ate, slept and sailed for several days on the sailboat. Another reason I didn't write about the experience last year.
I am happy to report we ARE certified skippers and can sail around the world, or we would be able to charter a sailboat. Our sailing trips didn't leave the best impression on me and I have no intention of ever owning a boat. And Conor's dream of sailing around the world or living (yes, LIVING permanently) on a sailboat--killed!!!! I am an admitted dream crusher. He said we should give sailing another shot. Someday.
Here are the only photos we have. We were hard at work and not many photo opps.
