This was such a good day out on the water. It was really something to see! 

Small Boat at Sea

Was directed to these videos of a small boat crossing the Atlantic by www.sailfar.net, a great website. This is an excellent video and confirms for me that a small boat was the right choice for us. The boat in these videos is an Albin Vega 27, a great boat with many blue water passages under her belt.

Night time Photo

Here is a night shot of Sal under her LED spreader lights.

New Orleans, LA

My job assisting the military often takes me all over the country (and world for that matter). I am often very busy and usually don't have much time off. I don't particulary like traveling without my wife but it's what I have to do to keep food on the table and prepare us for our cruising lifestyle. Recently I went down to Gulfport, MS and had the weekend off, so a co-worker and I headed over to "The Big Easy" for the day. We toured New Orleans, saw the sites and enjoyed some local food. Here is a glimpse of the French Quarter.  

 Bourbon Street

Not sure what this is other than a hotel but looked like a nice photo op

 Here is where we enjoyed lunch! I had the cajun pasta. I actually ate gator!

Street artist
