News, News and More News…
Sometimes, life is boring and normal, and then there are times when life is all but slow; Things seem to change at a rapid pace. A wise man once said, ” The only constant is change.” I agree, however, sometimes you are ready for a change but when it comes it knocks the wind out of you.
The GOOD news!
Hey It’s all good news. GR has taken advantage of an awesome opportunity. Currently, he is in the Bahamas on a 142′ Richmond yacht. He is the Chief Engineer! This position was not exactly what he was aiming for when he started this journey into the Yachting Industry. Initially, He was shooting for a Captain position. Yet, this opportunity came at a perfect time, and he is able to take full advantage of some wonderful experience with an awesome Captain and Crew. The yacht is based out of Ft. Lauderdale and stays at the dock for the most part but does take a lot of trips during the High Season. And as with any boat, it’s still just a hole in the water that the Owner throws money into, which really just means, maintenance ,maintenance, maintenance!
As for me, I am currently working toward my Real Estate license. I’ll take my State Exam on May 8th. Prayers are appreciated. I am working on a yacht myself it is a 52 ‘ Trumpy an old wooden boat that has won many awards for regatta’s in Abaco, Bahamas. I am helping to restore it to it’s original condition, that is before it sank in a hurricane years ago in Abaco. The boat is right here in Ponce Inlet so I can ride my bike to work which is lovely considering the price of petro!
As for Gia, She is currently preparing to graduate from Pre- kindergarten, And Yes they actually have a formal ceremony for that? Who Knew? Then she will be in Summer Camp and This fall it’s off to Elementary school for the real deal Kindergarten. She recently got a basketball that she is really good with, and I love to play so we’ve been doing that quite often.
Well, love to you all, and yes we are still shopping for the perfect cruising vessel and plan to hit the Seas as soon as humanly possible.
A Pirate’s Life for Me.
