Moved Again

Jennifer and I have moved again to get closer to her work. It means more of a commute for me and less for her. So, given the fuel expenses we now have, I am using that as a excuse to buy a motorcycle!

Sailing in St. Pete

Two weeks ago, Jennifer and I joined the Saint Petersburg Sailing Center, which is an extension of the St. Pete Yacht Club, just a lot cheaper. For $350 per year, they teach you to sail a 19' Rhodes, and let you take it out any time you want. Well, not any time, just any day that the weather conditions are safe, there are no scheduled events, and between 8AM and 5 PM. They call it "free sailing", which seems silly since you pay for membership. We have been out twice now, and really enjoy it. It is exhilarating to use no power, except that provided by the wind. None of the boats available for the "free sailing" are equipped with an engine, so it can take some time getting out of, or back into the marina, depending on the wind.

Here is a link to the Sailing Center's Web Page.

Been a while since the last post

Well, since the previous post Jennifer and I have moved to Virginia, then moved to Tampa. Jennifer is currently working as a middle school teacher and I am working for a communications engineering company.

Shortly after moving here we used some money from the sale of our house in Virginia to go on a cruise. We wanted to avoid the Spring Break crowd so we did a Western Caribbean cruise on Royal Caribbean to San Juan in Peurto Rico, St. Thomas, and St. Martin. See the image. I'll post a link to the photos once I get them uploaded.
