... bringing the beast with us. The marketers could appreciate our sponsorship decals we post all over the RV. <br> I was not too worried about Josh's first competition. He could have warmed up at the first two which should have taken place before the Dawn of the Shred. Hotline Surf and Skate moved their dates to November 14th, which we already have left town for that, and WRV's competition ...

... had popped out earlier). The sail was given a clean bill of health and measurements were taken for a new genoa which Dave anticipated replacing in the relatively near future. On October 15, the electronics representative came out to troubleshoot the B&amp;G full function display unit. His verdict was that the unit was bad and needs to be replaced or rebuilt in order to regain its full functionality. In the meantime, its basic functions work and are ...

... Everyone said their goodbyes and wished Josh luck on his pro tour. Over at Brandon's pad, we went over almost everyday after skating a good session all over town with Markie. Brandon's interest in skateboarding picked up after we hosted a birthday party for Brandon and Aaron. In reciprocity, we gave him one of our setup from our supply for his birthday gift. Brandon did more than just host a birthday for Josh on the ...

... something large was hooked up. It was a white marlin and I mean that fast it was hooked, to the boat, picture taken and release before anybody had even drawn to see who would take the first fish.<br><br>We quickly set the fishing order and it was "on" all day long as we caught white marlin after white marlin for many hours before ...

... advanced level, cause no one here can skate for ****." Boy, will looks be deceiving. During the warm ups, all everyone in Josh's class of skaters could do was simple tricks, all sketchy. Josh was making and landing clean big tricks that almost looked like you were watching a slow motion video of a pro's big trick. That's Josh's seller. He can make a difficult trick look big, and seemingly in slow motion, something that any spectators ...

... We headed over the south tunnel then back via the north tunnel, flying the spinnaker for the run toward the Hampton Bay Bridge tunnel in winds up to 20 kts. Good thing we had Pete along to help douse the spinnaker which can be challenging in high winds! <br><br>During the remainder of the month, Dave replaced the suction and discharge filter housings on the watermaker. Apparently some air leakage prevented the watermaker from developing full pressure and ...

... visited a nearby marina and toured a custom boat named Chanty. A gorgeous piece of work. On September 11 we motored to the North River on Mobjack for a change of scenery, admiring the homes on the river bank including that of Chanty&#8217;s owner. The following day we returned to Willoughby Harbor Marina in light NW wind and flew our new secondary spinnaker. The color combination is quite wild but the sail flies well!

... We rode our bikes to the beach, came back, and went to the movies to see the new Quinten Tarantino movie Inglorious Basterds. We both give it two thumbs up. Chillin tonight and getting a good night sleep for Baltimore where a friend of ours, Carli is meeting us for our last happy hour and a night on the town.<br><br>Even though we did not think it was possible at this point in our lives to be any closer, this trip, and anyone who has ever took a road trip, knows ...

... space, know wha' I'm sayin?" We look up and there is a massive Samsung speaker hanging incredibly conspicuously from a tree branch in front of the "Authentic" and I use the term very loosely, Capitol. Between the scenery and the acting, well, it was hard not to beleive we really were in the 1700's, know what I'm sayin ya'll? So then the debate began. It may have been interesting, but I couldn't really hear. Not because the obviously 17th century speaker was booming like a ...

Day two on the beach was much like the first day. More dolphins, fish and other wildlife, and the sun was just as strong. Did I mention that the temperature was about 115 degrees? (For non-Yanks, that's about 40/42 degrees! BRUTAL.) We were driven into the water, and I suffered a pretty reasonable sunburn ...
