Just got back from the pool, where instead of breaking my previous swim records I walked across talking to a woman who was swimming with a noodle. It was nice to get the gravity off of my back and just chat with someone...and GET OUT OF THE HOUSE!!! Yesterday was a few slow walks to … Continue reading Back is a little better

Back brought me down
This sucks, back stuff is the worst. I feel so stupid, old & weak 🙁 I've been feeling really good after my last episode 6 mos ago when I sprinted to catch up with my son and his dog only to feel immediate pain and flag down someone to call my husband. This one was … Continue reading Back brought me down
Dang!
After working so hard at it, my back said FU again 🙁 Nothing like being super healthy otherwise and unable to move. It didn't hit that hard yet, trying to prevent that by having a heat/ice day fueled with Aleve back pain (giving me a false sense of reality, but I wanted to sleep last … Continue reading Dang!
Marseille.fr
On our way to Istanbul by way of Marseille. We took the train from Nice to Marseille, a sailing town which had thousands of boats and sailboats all crammed together. They have one long dock, the boats are all docked stern first then it looks like an underwater mooring line you pick up? At first … Continue reading Marseille.fr
Moorings @ Angel Island
Wish there were some pictures of this past weekend of attempting to Moor at Angel Island, it's always an adventure there. I've done it a few times, not easy but was able to pull it off somehow - always with help from someone with an outboard on their dinghy. This time I was ready with … Continue reading Moorings @ Angel Island
South Beach weekend liveaboard

A few months ago my husband was invited to an all day event in the city, including a really nice dinner with an overnight stay. I suggested we skip the overnight stay in the hotel and just … Continue reading South Beach weekend liveaboard
Sail Outs
Every other Friday, weather permitting, we have a sail out to a destination for lunch. This was supposed to be a way for me to meet other sailor friends and have some fun. The people available on Friday's are retired, and in the Bay Area retired means 80 years old. OK, nothing wrong with that, … Continue reading Sail Outs

Prepping for Fleet Week SF
This is a little touch & go usually, last year I went out both days. This year I was planning on going out on Saturday with the same crew from last year, my pilot friends with their family. Then I took some childhood friends out a few weeks ago who asked to go on Sunday, … Continue reading Prepping for Fleet Week SF
Drone Shots
Forgot how much I like flying the drone when it comes back and mission accomplished. They asked me to take some pictures of a regatta that was a few miles out, I haven't practiced launching (or landing) from a boat so I had to do it on land. There are a ton of FAA restrictions … Continue reading Drone Shots
