(not just) Sitting Around Sitka
Had a great visit with (daughter) Kate! Only a week but we managed to get her out underway on DE – Kate’s been on the boat before, but never underway. The weather was great, so we jumped on it and cruised down to St Lazaria Island, a bird preserv…
Pokin’ around Sitka – July 19-25, 2011

Beysehir "Ottoman Heart"

Marmaris Yacht Marina
Marmaris, Turkey
Hi All,
The last 2 Boston Red Sox games have been pretty wild: 1-0 in 16 innings against the Rays and 15-10 the next day against the Orioles. As long as they keep winning I don’t care. The 16 i…
