Hello from below the Mason-Dixon Line

So readers, you find me for the first time below the mason-dixon line. I don't count D.C. or florida because although they are in fact geographically "southern" states, I don't really think they count.

Charleston, SC. is ok. This port stop actually hasn't been as great as we'd be hoping. The dock is nice, there are some restuarants in walking distance, there are a few bars, some decent shopping but something over all just irks me and a few other people and as a result the stop hasn't been as relaxing as we'd hoped.


I've decided that I'm going to try to get into the patagonia catalouge. This picture is one of my early efforts, its a work in progress.

Camden called me a yesterday. She'd never called me before so I was pretty surprised but it was really great talking to her. I hope the rest of you all are all well.

Soon we'll be off to Norfolk, VA. If I get a chance I'll update again! I bet you can't wait.

Its been three months since the last update!

Well, in the past three months, lila and I have finished working at killington, and now we are working on the boat. We're sailing on the Corwith Cramer for SEA. We just finished our first trip, an alumni trip. We sailed from key west to the Dry Tortugas. There is an old fort out there called Fort Jefferson.


Its basically a small island (no fresh water) with a fort built on it that covers the whole island. There is decent snorkeling around the island and it is kind of cool to walk around. Its in very good condition.
I'm working as an asst. scientist. We haven't done lots of science yet but we will be. We did catch a tiny octopus and we are trying to get halobates (marine insects) to lay eggs.

Lila is doing well, she's cooking on the boat along with another girl (a close friend) named Danielle.

Refer to the email I sent to see where the boat is going to be at anytime and I'll talk to everyone/anyone soon.
