It's 520am. I am TIRED. We're leaving at 7am on Eddie's 24 foot Pacific Seacraft to take it to Kemah down the ICW (International Coastwal Waterway). I prepared a ton of food and clothing for us. Brett and I don't like to be uncomfortable or hungy. :) Eddie is going with us.
We'll be taking the ICW to Sargent for the night and then head off from Sargent to Kemah tomorrow (Friday). This is my first time going this far on a sailboat and first time so offshore. I do like the idea of us pulling off for the night just because we will be in the ICW (Shipping Channel) with a lot of freighters and I'd have to stand 2 watches at night. It sounds a bit overwhelming for my first time out. We were going to take the Gulf over but the seas and wind are too much and its too cold the next two days. We may take the Gulf on our way back.
I asked Ann at Ace on Friday about their positions they are needing to fill. On Monday, I found out I wouldn't be able to participate in a show I wanted to get into and so I finished my application and biked it over on Monday. I handed it to the asst manager and as she was taking it, she said "You start tomorrow at 9am". LOL. I guess Ann told her to hire me if I came back in. I told her I could start next Tuesday (after the sailing and Benny's vet appt) and she asked me to come in this Tuesday and Wednesday, 1/2 days, to train. So I did. So I now have a small job to help with the bills till the shows come up again. This is good because it will give me something to do and I'll make money and I'll get out of Brett's hair for a few hours a few days a week. LOL
Well, I need to sign off and scramble (stumble) my way to Steve and Pam's boat on the other side of the harbor to wake their alarm clock-less booties out of bed, too as they have an appt in Victoria today.
Wish us luck! Love y'all and miss ya!
Kyla (and Brett)
