OBX july/august

July and August – Plenty of surf. La Sancha just got new brakes, rotors, and tires! Claire got a new laptop! After a few splurges we have paid off our debts and have finally started stashing money for our return trip to Guaymas. Claire’s Uncle Bud took us out for a quick day sail in his 16 footer. It was a great little sail around the Sound and up into the canals. It was our first time ever sailing in our home town! Too bad we forgot the camera… Work has been steady for the both of us. We have made it over the halfway bump of summer. it’s about time for some HURRICANE SWELL!

    STILL LIVIN' THE DREAM! It's great to see an update from you except there was one notable fuzzy face missing…. =). We took the boat to Newport last week and saw plenty of dolphin and a few whale spouts on the way home off Laguna. They were a distance away but we don't like getting too close to them anyway. Will e-mail you a picture of a spout we were able to catch with our phone. LOVE the beach houses and cottages on NC's coast! Hugs to you both, Mike Sr., Pina, La Sancha =) and NC family!
