Boats! Boats! How I love boats!

[timepiececlock]

I'm going sailing!

Yes, in about an hour I'm driving with the mom-unit up to Alameda (near Oakland, No. Cal.), and we're going to spend tonight on the boat where the dad-unit already is, go sailing tomorrow with the other SJ Sailing Club people who I haven't spoken to in a while (because I stopped going to the regular meetings since middle-school ended), and then spend Saturday night on the boat too.

I'm very excited-- I passed up the last few opportunities my paretns have gone out for a day-sail, because I had school to do or just didn't feel like it. But I'm excited now, because I'll be able to relax (as much as you can on a boat)... and have lots of fun.

I'll miss almost three days of LJ though... -_-

Yay, boats! My parental units bought a boat last August, and they're getting near the home stretch in renovation and repairs. In fact, I'm going down tomorrow to help out some and then spend the night with the parents.

Have a good time!

Thank you! I hope you have fun with yours also.

My parents bought a 26' McGregor sailboat when I was four (15 years ago), and I grew up around sailboats for that. Last summer my parents bought a boat in Canada that they'd been saving up for for a long time, a Catalina 36'. We eventually shipped it down, and now it's moored in a dock in Alameda, and we take it out onto the estuary or SF Bay. There's a world of comfort difference between 26 feet and 36. After 14 years of weekend trips and mini-vacations on the McGregor, the new boat makes me feel almost spoiled.

[grin] My parents have a 36' Uniflite, so I can understand what you mean. :-)
