Disney Comes to iTMS

Well, today Apple and Disney announced that Disney Records was coming to the iTunes Music Store. I love iTunes and this just makes me love it more. Go Apple and Disney!

Is it over yet?

I am so sick of school. I just want it to be over. I have been working non-stop this week. Yes I know I am a senior in college but still. There is a limit. Oh well. Time for bed now.

EC-SAR Apologizes

So EC-SAR called me today and formally apologized for their failed pager system [READ: We didn't know who was supposed to be on duty] that lead to them not responding on Friday Night. Way to go EC-SAR!

Wind, Tides, Sandbars and EC-SAR

So yesterday was an eventful day to say the least. Work and class were just the usual. The excitement started in the afternoon when we went out for a sail on my friend Will’s new Kelley 27. It was nice relaxing sail with Will, Jenn, Steve and Me. We headed in to Tampa Bay and got a great view of the sunset and it was nice and relaxing. Next, on the way back to port, with the shifting tides, we actually got pushed out of the channel and fudged the keel in to a sand bar therefore running us aground. Now at this point, it’s late and we paged EC-SAR, Eckerd College Search and Rescue, to come and tow us off, a free service they provide. The problem with this was, EC-SAR never responded to our pages. We sent a total of three pages to EC-SAR and all of them went unanswered. EC-SAR never responded or acknowleged the calls. Thanks to our friends Joe and Brett, they launched Joe’s boat and came to tow us off the sandbar and back to port. Time returned home: 04:15 am after waiting for EC-SAR since 12:30. Never were we in any danger but when you are paging a team that is supposed to help, it’s a pain in the rear. EC-SAR needs to look at their notification issues ASAP and in the meantime, thank you Joe and Brett.

The good news is that I at least got these nice pictures:

Looking forward yesterday as we come under the first span of the Sunshine Skyway.


Sunset looking back to port.

Now, I am off to get some needed sleep.

New Photos!

Well, I finally got around to updating my photos page. Visit Webby Aquatics | Photos and check out the updated photos.

Going on no Sleep

Well, I just got home from my evening class. The two hour lecture could have been over in 45 minutes buthe professor likes to go on. Anyways, I had like no sleep last night becasue some idiot decided to yank the fire alarm at 03.30 this morning. Just as I hit that perfect state of sleep I hear the lovely buzzer going. Oh I wasn’t happy when my alarm when off again at 08.30 so I can get up for class. Anyways, wind is still blowing down here. We hit gusts of like 60 something miles per hour last night while I was standing out side in my PJs. Well, classes are going good I think and only afew more weeks left. YAY. Well I must get back to studying.
