Corporate versus The Great Sea Ummm....Sounds like you (Jay) are taking on a new career whether crazy or brilliant! You never know what is on the horizon of your life!
Love, Mom
Wow!! I finally got onto your blog--now I'm hooked! What a great experience you are having. Thanks so much for sharing it with all of us!
Life in Portland is good--all is going well. We think of you often!
Love, Dana and Tim
Northern War of Aggression Your night on the hook sounded fun and educational. Your photos are great! And by the way, I am surprised that you haven't been corrected about the civil war. In that area, it was called the northern war of aggression. Keep up the blogs.
Pressure cooker time Guess the rice cooker is one of those luxuries that will have to go-among many others.We lived on that horrible freeze dried stuff.
Great as usual! We are enjoying your pics and entries soooo much! This website is reeeeally great. It is the next best thing to being there until we come see you on the boat. Glad you are testing everything before you start your long journey. Love you and take care of yourselves and Kona.....Mom J
thanks for the pics you are to be commended...many of us would love to do
what you are about to undertake, but are not able.God bless and appreciate your notes and the wonderful pics. Take care. Liz (your Mom Jean's co-worker)
Awesome! The boat looks beautiful with the name on the side. Kona looks too cute in his gear. :) We love the sushi boat! I bet you two are just itching to start your voyage. Good luck with all the finishing preparations.
Sailing haiku Rum Runner, so strong
A dream floats in the bay
Golden drops on the stern
Kona, proud dog of the sea
Dinghy his mighty vessel
Dreams of sushi in the night
JayJen, outfitters, sailors
Constructing the dream from a dream
What the hell is bimini
Old friends work in cubicles
Soon to spread barkdust
Life choices change the journey
Sushi and Rum Did you christen Sushi with sushi like you christened Rum Runner with rum? I bet Kona would have wanted to get in on that! By the way, he really looks like a salty dog with his life jacket on.
We are enjoying your descriptive write-ups and pics every time. Keep them coming! Love you and take care!
I am drooling thinking that you have made it, done it, and will now do more water stuff then anyone else in the family has. And Kona will be one of the rare dogs that gets to go along. Wow. luv the gear on Kona.
WAY COOL!!!!! Wow! Looks like you are getting really close to taking off - couldn't be more excited for you. Glad to see Kona happy again though I know he misses Ridgway, especially those long walks with Nana. Rum Runner is, indeed, gorgeous.
Love you,
MOM
Sounds like fun!! I know you are anxious to get out on your own and start your new adventure. I'm enjoying the pictures of Charleston...I have never been there!
Glad to see you out enjoying the city - looks like Charleston is a great place to explore! After the dark and stormy night entry, I have paid much closer attention to the weather in and around your area. Prayers for sun and wind (just the right amount for sailing) and that all the pieces and parts are assembled quickly..............
Love you bunches!!
Mom
WOW I loved hearing how excited you are about your new yacht..I can't even imagine how wonderful it must be. I will be praying for you as you are on the open seas and as you have this new adventure in your lives. Loved the pictures!!
gad Thank god you guys are ok. There probably are a lot of people that are happy you were there to tighen up their lines. Did Kona help or was he tied up down below? No doubt the dolphins had something to do with your escaping harm.
Dark and Stormy seems to be the theme. Is the drink only the rum and ginger beer? Maybe it is time to switch drinks to Sunny and Breezey.
Do you guys plan on getting skype? If you get a camera, we can talk to you and see you too, all over the computer.
Rum Runners of lore were some of the best sailors on the seas. They had to outrun, outwit, and outsail the navy in order to make their spoils. We are proud to follow in the traditions of the past Rum Runners; to sail in the same waters, to find protected anchorages and friendly ports, as well as to enjoy some of the best rums the Caribbean has to offer- yar!
Let me introduce you to the crew of the Rum Runner; I’m Jen and do most of the blogging. But my life wouldn’t be complete without my husband Jay by my side. And as always we have our trusty companion Kona, the Salty Dog. We have b... full info
