Funny thing is I don't even know if I'd make a good sailor, I have very limited experience on the ocean. But look there, seems I haven't lost ALL my dreams after all ;)<br /><br />Sounds like a fun job anyways.

One of the blessings I count is that I accidentally landed an unusual and interesting career! Although sometimes it seems pretty shallow pandering to rich boat owners.<br /><br />Getting stranded is no fun at all, I've been through that in a dinghy when the wind died and we have strong tides around here! very scary.Juniperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10930937754917509956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4569538505653694942.post-34597434766621058782010-10-31T18:35:42.663+00:002010-10-31T18:35:42.663+00:00I learned something today, I didn't even know ...I learned something today, I didn't even know jobs like this exist. Hmmm sounds a lot better than what I want to do...to bad I am slightly afraid of tampering boats. (grew up on one and lately it's been having motor problems and we have gotten stranded in the middle of a lake before...)<br /><br />http://theadorkableditzmissteps.blogspot.com/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4569538505653694942.post-56642777020940644372010-10-31T14:32:41.039+00:002010-10-31T14:32:41.039+00:00Best name of all time!

The first regatta I ever saw (not entered) watched from the sidelines, actually we kind of followed the outskirts...was on a small lake in the Twin Cities, and if you know the author F. Scott Fitzgerald? ..he once belonged to the yaht club that sponsored this regatta! I love anything connected to boats, and a favorite sport of mine is to go to Duluth and pick up the schedule that lists all the ships that come to town! There's a revolving restaurant in town and that even makes it more exciting! Thanks for photo, and story!21 Witshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00071361755673253230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4569538505653694942.post-3875686404810191192010-10-31T12:52:05.009+00:002010-10-31T12:52:05.009+00:00Ohhhh....what a beautiful little boat. k..not so ...Ohhhh....what a beautiful little boat. k..not so little, but you know what I mean.Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14408403855260279799noreply@blogger.com
