Now Jeremy I thought I had the water in my backyard man, but jeez you have it made. I am really trying to get into the whole sailboating thing. Sadly, I don't own the boat and am nowhere near skillfull enough to handle the boat by myself. Thankfully I get to go out on a whole bunch of boats during the weekends.

I feel like such an old guy. Guys my age need the speed of the jet ski or master craft, but I just like tooling around on the sailboat.

P.S I live right on Taylor Lake, which is a tributary to Clear Lake. Your familiar to the area right?

Oh yes - I know the area well. I used to live on Nasa Road 1 - My best friend ran the Jalepeno Tree Restaurant in the day. I wind surfed on Taylor lake with some chick who lived there and was going to University of Houston CL - but that was eons ago. Used to go to the Turtle Club and watch the Wednesday night races - I sailed my share of races too - typically on other peoples boats.

Well the turtle club is still here. The first pic is a completely one right before my camera died. I was trying to get a pic of a massive catermerann (however the heck you spell that) that was coming into Clear Lake. The second one is my favorite fishing spot for redfish. Right behind the 'Beer Garden' on 518 in Clear Lake Shores.

I love this place.

Was in the 80s in San Diego County today. Took my FZ1 on a ride into the east county mountains. The air was sweet!

I forgot about the Beer Garden - how funny - is it still basically a fenced off side yard? HAHA
