First off, our prayers and thoughts go out to those affected by the flooding in the Fargo/Moorhead area. Robin, unfortunately, was sent out to San Diego over this past week for some training for work. I, fortunately, was able to take a few days off to come and join her for a long weekend. We have been having some great times here taking in things like Sea World and sailing out in San Diego Bay on an 80' IACC (International America's Cup Class) sailboat Stars and Stripes (USA 34). From what I understand we will be returning to a snowstorm and more cold weather when we get home which is quite a change from 70 degrees and sunny. Sea World had some great shows and an incredible stadium for their Shamu
Believe show which integrates 4 rotating/moving video screens into the show. These Killer Whales are amazing creatures, as are their smaller relatives, the dolphins. We've been missing our little guy at home who has been getting some quality time in with his grandparents. At least we've been able to see him on occasion via video calls. Here's a little of what we've been up to.

Robin thinks she's as scary as a shark, you decide.

Launched in 1863, she's the oldest ship in the world that still maintains a a regular sailing schedule.
Here's some pictures of Robin and I on USA-34/Stars and Stripes.
Some of the 3600 square feet of sail on this boat. The mast you see here is 114' tall, or about eleven stories.
