Catching Up

There are a few reasons why this blog hasn't been too frequently updated the past 5 months or so.
The first has been because we have been really busy doing boat stuff.
The second was because we were in the Caribbean, which kind of like home does get small and "boring" sometimes; I mean there are only so many photos of beaches, Bob Marley's and boats I can post on here!
The third reason, is the reason I am now posting; in the past month I haven't really had too much time just to sit down (with the internet), I have been everywhere from Antigua, New York, San Francisco, the middle of the Atlantic Ocean (for about 3 weeks), which included a stop in the Azores. And now i find myself back in Palma de Mallorca - a place where billionaire fugitives like Christopher Skase call home and get sick.

Here are some photo's of San Francisco, a place we went for a quick little holiday before the trip to Europe began. There's no real point in explaining what the place is like, it's not like you haven't heard about it or seen a photo..... just think Full House and Bob Saget, Milk (the movie about Harvey Milk, not the pasteurised type!), Flower Power, Clint Eastwood in a prison uniform, very old cable cars and rainbow flags.

The biggest surprise for me was the fact that I got to see The Gaslight Anthem playing just 100m down the road from where we were staying. Having been one of my favourite and most repeated artists my ears have enjoyed I was thoroughly stoked when a quick google search pulled there name out of the hat.

Enjoy.
Ears: The Gaslight Anthem

Bush Man; rumour has it he earnt $72,000 last year from scaring people by doing this. Not bad for a homeless guy!

Painted Ladies, Bob Saget's house was the one with the red trim.



Apparently the biggest Chinatown outside of Beijing.


Pier 12 1/2

Oracle - their tenders doing full noise just to keep up.
