The Agrinautica

   This weekend the tallship Spirit of Dana Point (pictured above) is sailing up to Santa Barbara, a trip I'm told will take about 24 hours, and I'm going with it!


   Also today I was communicating with the the coordinator for the tallships Lady Washington & Hawaiian Chieftain, and it sounds like I'm in!! So I'll be doing that probably starting around the 29th of November! Provisionally I'm thinking for like 3 months.
   Haven't decided yet if I'm going to go on the Lady Washington sailing up the Colombia, or the Hawaiian Chieftain, which will be bouncing around the Bay Area I think.


   Also, next Wednesday I'm boating (no sails ): ) out to Catalina Island with my boss. We're going to go anchor in the little cove of Little Harbour and camp there overnight Wednesday and Thursday night. In addition to having a campfire and snorkling and all that fun stuff, we'll be lobster fishing (lobster catching? bobbing for lobsters?), as it will be the first day of the lobstering season.


   After returning to the mainland on Friday I'll be flying up to the Bay Area (again), for my good friend Ben's wedding.


   Aaaand of course we're now down to about 15 days until I leave for Turkey.
   21 days until I arrive in Israel.
   25 days until I arrive in Egypt.
   Etc. :D
