Back in the Bay

So, I set this blog up a few weeks ago so friends, family and anyone interested can watch our adventure unfold, stay informed about their offspring or learn from our mistakes and start an adventure of their own. Time got away from me in Seattle and I haven't posted anything since the day I published the site (thankfully, Connor has been keeping things rolling here). It is time for me to briefly recap the last few weeks and let you know that I am now in California, currently sitting on s/v Ardea.

The last few weeks have been busy, very busy. November 30th, 2011 marked the end of life as I knew it, both my job and my lease ended and I found myself living out of the wonderful green Subaru that took me to Seattle in the first place. Exiting Seattle was much different than arriving though, the wonderful roommates, co-workers, and friends made leaving hard. I worked at the Seattle Sailing Club, a business that provides sailing on the beautiful Puget Sound. I lived in Ballard (the "sleepy little drinking town with a condo problem"). I met the majority of my friends via live music ranging from jam bands, all the way across the charts to funky soul, and back again to full fledged electronic madness. I love these three aspects of my life and will be back in the Pacific Northwest again, sailing under the Olympic Mountains.

It is now December 7th and I have spent my first day on the boat, my new home. The drive south was painless, my co-pilot (Anna Christopherson) picked album after album of great music, and we spent two nights in Portland with da boyz (and girls). Portland is grand, the people are great and the friends are fantastic.

Now, I do not know what to expect, this feeling is both exhilarating and frightening.

Love.
