Friday, April 4, 2014. Former Floating Frat House Surgery and What Could Have Been. A recent event at the Frat House seems to have warranted a blog entry and reminded Ben and I to be grateful for something we tend to take for granted; our children’s health. So as the hours progressed, we anxiously, watched our child become increasingly ill. At one point our eyes met and without uttering a word, we concurred on one simple notion. This is not an exaggeration and we have no idea how it happened, but our chi...

Thursday, July 4, 2013. Big Fish, Little Pond-Traveling Up the Eastern Seaboard. Current Location: Annapolis, Maryland. HAPPY 4TH OF JULY! The previous blog entry left off in Key West, Florida where we began our sail up the Eastern Seaboard of the good, old U-S of A. I had forgotten how different cruising is here versus foreign countries. One huge obvious difference is that well.…life is EASY! However, when we were REALLY stuck, Ben would enact the "We Need More Tipping! This involves using a line from t...

Wednesday, November 13, 2013. Ben Doolittle Makes the Evening News.Unfortunately Not For Sailing! This current post is simply to publish the video of Ben on the Sacramento evening news tonight, talking about (insert 'yawn' here.) the new California Covered Health Insurance. I remember my dad one day telling me that I could be ANYTHING I wanted to be when I grew up.and then he added, 'except an insurance broker'. So there we sat and when Ben hung up the phone he informed me, "We need to get our food to go!

Saturday, May 12, 2012. Current Location: Bahia del Sol, El Salvador. Cows walk the streets freely here in El Salvador. Bus drivers barrel down the simple streets, blaring their horns to get them to move. Slowing down is not an option. Meeting El Salvadorian families is always fun! We have become e-mail buddies with these new friends, attempting to write to them in Spanish and they, in English.. Mickey learning how to make pupusas! Receiving the $5 he asked for in his letter to the Tooth Fairy, J.P&...

Saturday, December 29, 2012. Panama City, Panama. Merry Belated Christmas one and all! We are currently anchored out with about 100 other boats in Panama City near the entrance to the Panama Canal. Our beautiful view of the city skyline is amazing and we spent the first few nights in awe watching the enormous tankers exiting the Canal and feeling extremely small. At night they appear to be huge office buildings floating through the water heading for the Pacific Ocean. When we returned home for a visit th...

After the bombing and pillaging by the famous Welsh pirate, Henry Morgan in 1671, they moved the city here. So off we went to the Cosco Viejo, where th...
