Palm Beach

Hello everyone. I hope that your thanksgivings were happy affairs. Mike and I spent ours at his college friend's house and enjoyed a huge traditional thanksgiving dinner. I did muss being at home with my family, but not all was lost. We are still in Palm Beach with no plans of leaving. Work is easy, but life is a little boring here. I suppose that I need to find some stuff to do in the community to keep me busy. I don't think that I'll be able to sit around for the full winter, so I am going to look for other opportunities, both in yachting and skiing. Another job in yachting seems a bit unlikely as it is already the middle of the season and the few boats who are doing cool things already have a full crew. I'm going to send some emails out to old captains that appreciated me and see what turns up. I have also applied at several ski chalets in the French Alps. Its a bit late as the season has already begun, but I am sure that there will be some turnover. I'm just not sure that American candidates are going to be their first choice. I have also thought about moving out to join Luc and Brett in Steamboat. The header picture is one of Steamboat before a storm from a couple of years ago. Its such a good place and I can't wait to get back.

I found a cool program that turns pictures into vector images. The link is http://vectormagic.com/main/
