Sorry for the delay

Friends and Family,

Sorry it has taken me a few days to make a post, as I have been fairly busy working! The afternoon after my last post, our phone rang saying I had work in Cannes the very next day. After that days worth of work, I came back to Antibes, and decided to walk the docks to see if I could dig anything up there, and sure enough I came up with 3 more days worth of work which concluded today. Oddly enough, all three of us have had the exact same stroke of luck and have all had 4 consistent days of work leaving us all with at least 400 euros which is clearly a nice little buffer. In other news, instead of waiting around for my flight which leaves on September 29 to come back to the states, I have been accepted to be a mate on a boat which will be crossing the Atlantic starting August 12. As a result of that decision, we decided to go spend some time away from France with the little bit of time we have remaining, and will go check out Switzerland on Tuesday. Haha I know that this is really throwing many of you for a loop, but I realized that this is really probably the only opportunity I will have in life to cross the Atlantic under sail, and know that if I dont take advantage of this shot, another one wont likely pop up. Also, some good news is that we will be arriving in Annapolis which is so close to many of you, so I will be back in DC pretty much when I get back! Anyways I will be able to do more from the Swiss base we will be staying at (as we will have free internet), so I look forward to catching up on some of your emails, and making a couple more posts. I hope and pray you are all well, and cant wait to hear from you!

I always knew that you were a pirate at heart. I am so pumped to hear about your tales from the seas. This is why you are the man. I miss your bro can not wait to see you when you return.
