OBX july/august

July and August - Plenty of surf. La Sancha just got new brakes, rotors, and tires! Claire got a new laptop! After a few splurges we have paid off our debts and have finally started stashing money for our return trip to Guaymas. Claire’s Uncle Bud took us out for a quick day sail in his 16 footer. It was a great little sail around the Sound and up into the canals. It was our first time ever sailing in our home town! Too bad we forgot the camera… Work has been steady for the both of us. We have made it over the halfway bump of summer. it's about time for some HURRICANE SWELL!
