January and February...

Two weekends ago, we joined our friends and took Midnight Sun to Clipper cove anchorage at Yerba Buena island. It's the island that connects Oakland and San Francisco. The marina is the Treasure island side which is connected by a small isthmus to Yerba Buena island.

That weekend we went ashore and visited The Winery. Here we bought and enjoyed a bottle of sparkling wine and a bottle of their 2008 Cab.
It's always nice to enjoy and share a good bubbly and a nice Cabernet with friends. For Lenard and I, it was a half hour ride to the anchorage.

Simon on the phone, Sean, Karen, Chris and Lenard - no, they don't serve cervezas. Lenard and Simon are not wine drinkers

It was a fun 3-day weekend even with the rain the next evening. It's all about relaxation and spending time with friends.

New Years resolution...

Ah, it's that time again. What is it this year? Stop smoking? Lose weight? Save more money? Whatever your resolution may be for the new year, I know what mine will be. For me it's all about staying fit and good nutrition.
I was reading Time magazine about Fit vs. Fat. According to the article, there was "a study of 14,345 men found that regardless of how much weight they gained or lost over 11 years, those who stayed fit or got even fitter, as measured by performance on a treadmill test, lowered their risk of dying from heart conditions by at least 30% compared with those who fell out of shape. 
GET OFF THE COUCH!

and start walking... 

Merry Christmas to All!!

Welcome

I've set up this blog for informational and a resource for things that I believe will be of interest to my family, friends and world travelers/cruisers. These could be related to life, health and fun stuff.
