Boating and Travel

*Update*

Sorry for the lack of posting lately. Bethany and I have been working on separate boats now for over two months, many times in different cities (or countries). Bethany has completed two boats shows, a trip to the USVI's and Puerto Rico with her current boat and plans to be done with her boat mid-April after an owners trip to the Bahamas. I have been working on an old boat with an even older Captain, but I love the job. I am located in Ft. Lauderdale for the time being until the owner either decides to move it or cut down costs and nixes me. Bethany and I are together this weekend up in West Palm Beach for the boat show. There currently isn't a position open for Bethany on my boat unless the owner uses it or takes it up north for the summer. I plan to stay on my boat until the work runs out or we find a couples job. Bethany is able to stay on my boat no problem so that helps. We are happy temp working right now because we would like to come home late June through the 4th of July, but if a permanent couples job comes up we will take it. Well that's our life for the last 2 months in a nut shell!

Back to the grind.

Thought I would update everyone on our current status. Bethany has been down in the carribean for 2 weeks now crusing the Virgin islands on an owners trip. I have just took a temp gig on a boat heading up to West Palm Beach. I have worked for this captain before and really enjoyed him and the job. Everything is going good and work has been coming in as well. Hopefully Bethany and I will be reunited in a week and a half or so. Bethany really likes the boat she is on. Who knows what the future will bring but we will be ready!

Home Sweet Home

It's getting close, I will be home in 5 days now! Bethany and I have been apart for more than 6 weeks and I have been out of the US for almost 10 months. It's going to be bitter sweet, maybe more sweet than bitter. It's also going to be the end of employment and back to fun-employment and the job hunt. Hopefully a job will open up once we're back in Florida but it might take a few months. Now just to get through this week and make it home safe! This picture reminds me of home and my first stop back in the states.
