First breath... 12/22/2012

My meeting in Washington with the owner Sunday went off without a hitch! I'm about to set out on one of the most beautiful yachts ever to sail! She's a 78' sailing ketch - maple leaf named "Breathless". Ernie Reinhard is truly a gracious, thoughtful person who i know i will be fast friends with.

I'll travel to Pureto Vallarta 12/23 to meet the one of boat's captains, staying at the Ernie's magnificent home and visiting the yacht returning 12/27. I'll be preparing to leave for my month sailing the gulf and on to St. Martin in the British virgin islands. My duties will be to feed to hungry men. What a nice way to become popular!

I feel in shock today. What an amazing adventure! Thank you for being so supportive!
