So I Went To Circus School Today...

And our class was studying flying trapeze technique...

From a guy with a lot of tattoos.

and yes; my tubby physique was capable of being caught mid-air.

Basically you sign up for circus school; they spend about minute and a half on safety; show you what a trapeze is; then yell "HUP" and you are supposed to swing to your catcher while listening to a barrage of commands involving feet; knees; and hip placement. All while upside down and out of shape. Try It!

Drakes Bay - 2 Day Off Shore Race (Overnight)

This race was not for the feint of heart.

Two days of grueling battle with 30 knot winds and 12ft+ swells. John Liebenberg, Ben Mack & Chris Martin won our class that race. Of course that's because every other boat in our class dropped out due to conditions & other races that day.

I am not really as tough as i look in this picture, i was crying like a baby when my legs cramped up as we were pulling into Drakes to anchor. I was a little too cold & wet sitting on that rail all day and quickly found myself being humbled.

I threw in this photo of the less photographed side of Alcatraz, I don't think it fair for tourists to always neglect the bay side of the island.

A tribute to all those that love snow, Les Claypool, and Subaru's. Thanks Mike Campanelli!

Presidio Living

Check Out Where This House Is - Yahoo! Maps
After much deliberating I have decided to use blogger.com as my portal to the outside world. I'll be armed with my trusty iPhone and hopefully reporting once a day or so.

Shown here is the new home in the Presidio of San Francisco that Danielle are trying to move into this month. Well, at least we want to move into half of it. 3bd 1 Bath; 1275 square feet and a HUGE basement. There is a partial view of the Golden Gate Bridge. ie we can see some red through the eucalyptus trees.
