Blank Slate

Happy (belated) New Year!

After spending the Holidays in Oregon with family, in January I headed back to the small community of San Carlos, in the Bay Area, where I have leased a one-bedroom apartment.

So far, I’ve been really happy with the apartment’s size and location. I’ve been able to transfer all my belongings from my storage unit to the apartment. The apartment is on the third floor so it feels pretty secure. And the apartment is walking distance to downtown San Carlos, the library, and the train station.

Having lived “on the road” for 4 years, I am now really enjoying a place to call home again…

In February, my friend Bala visited the Bay Area, and we took a road trip to Yosemite National Park for a few days of hiking. We couldn’t have timed it any better. Although it was winter time, we had clear skies and 60-degree temperatures! There wasn’t much snow on the ground, which was a bit of bummer, but it made the drive very easy. Crowds were light as well, perhaps because people feared inclement weather and cold temperatures. We got very lucky!

Because of the decent weather, I was also able to get out sailing on the SF Bay a few times! I’m excited for the summer season to start!

My plan for 2020 is to be based here in the Bay Area and teach sailing at OCSC Sailing Club. In terms of travel, it’s a blank slate. Nothing on the books yet, but I’m sure that will change…

For now, I’m just trying to catch up on DBT.com!
