The great weather continued the last few days here in Florida, so we’ve been taking advantage with some surf sessions. Cindy hasn’t been able to partake much due to some dental issues that started up in Chicago, but luckily she’s getting it fixed now rather than while we are traveling international. Thanks uncle Gary!
Brother-in-law, Matt, and I went out for a couple hours this afternoon. Waves were ultra small, but conditions were ultra glassy which makes for easy paddling and practicing some new skills. It’s an amazing peacefulness when the ocean is calm as a lake, plus a bonus of the occasional swell waves for surfing. Hard to beat an early January with 75 degree air temp, 70 degree water temp, sunny, calm winds and tasty waves. Sister-in-law, Laura, joined us on the beach and snapped some action photos of us.
Resumed studying today for my upcoming sailing classes which start on Sunday. Looking forward to some sailing and hopefully new certifications next week.



Nice day for surfing. Up here in PA, we were snowboarding that day (1/4). Conditions were OK but it got icey in the afternoon. Went again on 1/6, until I hit some ice and blew the knob off my snowboarding boot (couldn’t tighten them up w/o the nob). So, half a day Sunday.
