Recent photos from my trip to Boston.

4th of July weekend I headed down to San Francisco to meet up with my friends and fellow cavemates for a pretend “reunion” of sorts. Most of my graduating class from my masters program showed up and it was an absolute blast. Plenty of alcohol was consumed, stories were retold, and new memories were made.

I also took a whole ton of pictures for those who are interested in that sort of thing.

This weekend I’ll be heading up to Vancouver to race J/24’s in the WAVES regatta. I’ll be bringing my camera and I plan on trying to get some good photos when I’m not racing. Should be a good time.

Those of you who have pets and love them should give them a good hug tonight. Those that know me well and have talked to me today should know why. The rest of you should do it anyway.

Update: Suffice to say I never even took my camera out of its bag. It was a very busy but very fun weekend.

I just wanted to point out a great new set (IMHO…) I put up on my Flickr account from my trip to Vegas this past weekend. Go check it out!

Another update. This past weekend I raced in the Etchels Irish Championship at Howth Yacht Club. Great racing, great weather, and I even beat Dennis Conner in one of the races.

Now I’m doing the tourist thing in Dublin for a few days, and then I’ll be going out to Galway on the west coast for a couple days. And then its back to Howth for one more regatta, the Etchells European Championship.

Three days and I’m exhausted already. I’ve done most of the standard touristy London things… the British Museum, the National Gallery, double-decker bus tour, etc. I even took the ferry up to Greenwich and stood on the Prime Meridian.

I’m staying in the Generator Hostel in London, a gigantic 800-bed hostel with its own bar, internet cafe, and cafeteria. Also the cheapest pint in London, and they know how to put on a good party.

Tomorrow I’m flying over to Dublin to meet up with a friend of a friend for the weekend. I’ll be racing in the Etchells Irish Nationals and then their European Championship.

In about 3 hours I board a plane for London. I’m leaving for awhile to backpack through Europe.

But don’t worry, I’m bringing my camera and I’ll be taking plenty of pictures. Watch this space… Cool stuff should be happening.
