My daughter Mckenzie came to San Diego over Labor day to dance in an Irish tap competition. She brought Julio and we all spent the weekend together. They flew into Long Beach, I picked them up and we drove to SD. She did great in the comp, placing high enough to move on to the next level at the next feis which was 2 weeks later in Boise. She did great there too, placing “in the money” and letting all the veterans there know that there is a new set of legs in town! You go girl!

After the dancing we spent a few days here on the boat but sea conditions were pretty rough, big chaotic waves and light winds that wouldn’t keep the sails full, so we didn’t stay out too long. We rented a standup paddle board and took turns paddling around the harbor by the “Baby beach”. they are real popular here, I dodge around others paddlers all the time,. But this was the first time I had ever tried it. It was pretty easy to get the hang of it in those mild conditions and we had a great time. Kenzie even got so bold that she left the basin area and paddled out in the channel. Seems like she has a bit of her dad’s crazy blood in here eh?

They had to leave way too soon, it was great to have them here and I miss them and all of you.
