I came up here to Portland, and was lucky enough to have some really good cruiser friends in the area. Kris and Adam from Estrella helped make the transition back into land life a lot easier. I can't thank them enough for letting me shack up with them until I could find my own place.

It is amazing how expensive EVERYTHING is here in the USA! I have been keeping myself occupied with sailboat racing and hanging out with friends. Meanwhile, Eileen and Adrian have been busy preparing the boat to be hauled out of the water for the summer. They are heading for NY, to take care of some other business. Anyway. I haven't really had much of an urge to keep the log up to date, since I really didn't think that I had anything interesting to write about. Besides I suck at writing and Eileen isn't around to do that portion of the the updates. Here's a few pictures. I also included a new video format for the site on this page. Let me know how you like it.
