Update October-November 2007

I'm off tomorrow for the Bahamas.

There's been a lot of travel in my life these days. Went to Key West for Fantasy Fest last October. You can do a search for Fantasy Fest in Key West so I don't need to explain it but it's much like Mardi Gras in New Orleans. It was interesting to say the least. I was a pirate the first night, belly dancer the 2nd. Did get a bit of snorkeling and lobster hunting as well. I didn't catch the lobsters, Ginny did that (expertly), but I helped eat them.

  Went sailing in the Bahamas in November, for 10 days, 7 of which didn't see much of civilization - was awesome. Anchored in the lee of uninhabited cays with amazingly clear turquoise and often shallow water. One night the tide went out and we were too close to shore so we settled on the bottom. Spent the night keeled over - was pretty funny. Stopped in Fox Town on my birthday for breakfast. I ordered a typical Bahamian breakfast: boiled fish, and grits, with papaya on the side. Wasn't as bad as it sounds. In fact before flying home I had tuna and grits for breakfast. Only had one bad day of sailing when the waves and the wind were so high I actually got nervous. Was a little scary getting continuously doused with cold water and being heeled way way over. As you can see I survived.

I got to steer!

Beautiful sunsets.

Flying back from Marsh Harbour, back to work, no time to sail back. He'll have to get his other girlfriend to do that.
