Day 151: We’re on a Boat!

Life is more fun when you’re floating over water.

√ We’re on a boat!

Must haves in life:

1. A doctor friend
2. A lawyer friend
3. A friend who has a friend who own a boat

Alright, I wouldn’t say that my list is completely accurate – no doubt about that. But when I have an opportunity to spend a Saturday afternoon on a boat, I’d take it – despite my fear in water. See, to me, being on a boat is like seeing palm trees – it makes me feel like I’m on a mini-vacation at some tropical resort.

Long story short, my coworker invited me and some of her friends to sail around Newport Beach on her friend’s boat. All I had to do was bring the 12-pack of beer and chips & hummus – sounds like a good deal to me! I kicked back, relaxed and sipped on my Heineken as we sailed around the harbor. It’s moment like these when I realize just how much California can spoil people.

The highlight? The owner of the boat let me drive (or is it steer?) the boat around! Granted, we were only going a few miles per hour but I can now say that I’ve steered a boat! Sounds b@d@$$ right? I now have an exciting story to tell my grand kids

No worries – I got this!

Next must-do event? Bar hopping on a boat! Assuming that I don’t get seasick, how awesome would it be to go roll up at basr and “park” the boat in a harbor?!  Sigh – rich people have so many options for transportation – but I still have yet to meet someone who owns a plane/helicopter…

And tonight, I’m saying good night from a boat – which again, marks a first!

Thanks SR and host of the party for a fantastic Saturday!

Who’s da captain of da ship? Oh yeah, ME!
