So this is a quick post just to say, hello LJ friends! I've been offline for almost a month here, so I'm feeling waaaay out of touch. Therefore, and because I am too jetlagged/tired/lazy to actually make my way back through a month's worth of updates (y'all are prolific!!)

There's this women's racing league that focuses on teaching and encouraging new sailors, so even though I'm learning by being thrown into the absolute deep end, it's quite fun. There's a lot of yelling by our ( Read more... )
