Finally, a rockfish!

It took us the whole dang summer, but we finally caught a keeper!  I'm super proud of Swab--he helped bring the fish in, kept it alive in a bucket while we kept fishing, and helped clean it when we got back to the dock.  

Marina Party and a show

Tonight the marina hosted a slip holder party.  Good food, good music, and a GREAT show by nature!

A/C maintenance

The Captain is working late today and we are having some issues with the aft a/c.  I am the daughter of an HVAC professional, so the girl and I decided we would blow out the lines and see if we could improve things a bit.  K learned a bit about the various valves and was a big help watching for discharge.  It's a little better, but the aft a/c discharge line may need to be replaced.

A SpinSheet Cover!

Holy cow!  My photo of Trent jumping off the boat in San Domingo Creek won the SpinSheet cover contest!  I love it!  I think he was a little shocked to see himself on the stand at the market.  :)

Planes, trains, and automobiles

This weekend was kid pick-up weekend.  We flew to FL to grab K on Friday, then drove to LA to see our friends there and pick up T.  Yesterday we hopped on a train with tears in our eyes and headed north.  We have so many great people in our lives!  

The train was a different experience for us.  I think if we do an over-nighter again, we need to lay out the money for a sleeper car.  It was a little rough, but I still love seeing the country that way!
