Welcome to my blog! For those of you that don't know, I am leaving to join my sister,Meghan, her husband, Conor, and their great dog Pennylane on their catamaran Gualby (don't ask what the name means. It was already named that when they got it and even after research, the origin was never found). I am planning on leaving tomorrow 2/17 on a one-way flight to Cancun, then taking a ferry to their boat anchored on the coast.
Some of you might be asking yourselves, "Why the hell is he doing this?" My answer is simple: Why the hell wouldn't I be doing this!? This is once in a lifetime opportunity that I don't intend to pass up. Life has been tough for a while, and having a change of pace is just what my body and mind needs to reboot and figure out where I am in life, and where I want go.
I was writing this post just to see how it looked and to give a little intro. I'm planning on posting as much as I can, but with limited internet access it might be difficult, so check back often. Time to go finish packing my backpack that is the size of me.

p.s.-Here are some photos if you haven't seen Gualby or the crew before (Some might have seen them...I stole from Meg and Con's blog):
