The “nearly to impossible” test is over...just a sec, I'll be right back (I have to do the happy dance)...ok, I'm back! And now I just have a few items to check off the USCG application list...
Day 1: What a relief...I'm not the only girl in my class! Our instructor Robert is super nice, funny and definitely has his Sh*t together. I'm sharing the overall excitement of my classmates...This is gonna be fun! Day 2:
We started on the Rules of the Road today. After my husband's stories I was prepared for the worst, but it's really not that bad. Piece of cake! Also, I think the Chart plotting might really be my thing. When you spend as much time on board as I do, you start wondering what would be the next step? What would be the ultimate goal that separates the recreational boater and a professional? Well, Captain comes to mind...CAPTAIN...hmmm, it's like trying on a new last name or a royal status...Captain Victoria, Captain V...that has a nice ring to it! But can I do this? Can I really become a captain? Do I have what it takes? And what does it really take?
Accessories...no outfit is complete without it. Anchor bracelets, belts, nautical stacks & watches...these amazing brands are taking Nautical into Stylish & Fashionable! So here are some of my recent favs...
When it comes to cause and treatment of seasickness there are just as many personal opinions, as there are people on this planet. It's the elephant onboard no one wants to talk about, because “it's contagions” and “not fun”. There are 2 types of boaters: the ones that get seasick and the ones they don't. If you fall into the unlucky category, you have heard it all: “you will get used to it”, “don't drink”, “don't eat”, “look at the horizon”, “snap out of it”, “just don't think about it”...but you still get sick? I did not want to do another post about a bunch of natural remedies and ideas that might help. I believe understanding the problem is the first step to managing it. So what is seasickness?
I wanted to do a post about a few beautiful pieces I got from the Los Angeles based brand Sienna Rose. I'm in love with this colorful and stylish blouse, that I have chosen to wear as tunic in these pics. There are not many truly Nautical prints out there. And the Stripes would be sad and lonely if it wasn't for the Chevron. Gotta love the Chevron. Featured in this post: Sienna Rose Inc
We all call a boat - a “Yacht” and a yacht - a “Boat” just to make things easier. But really, what is the difference?
