City to Sea

Jenn, along with many friends, participated in the City to Sea Half Marathon this weekend. The event entailed heading to SLO town early in the morning for the downtown start and running 13.1 miles to the beach. It was a sunny day with mild winds but uncharacteristically very cold at 33 degrees at 7am. They all looked cold but appeared to immediately warm up at the start. The group ran from SLO town to the beach at Dinosaur Caves Park in Shell Beach.

Jenn finishing the final 50 yards with the Sea in the background.

From L to R: Christina (niece), Jenn aka wifey, Nicole Shipley, Lindsey Cheney, Katie Ernstrom, Joy Newman, and Jenn Collins.

Very proud of the wifey with her hard work and encouraging attitude towards the challenge. She and and all her friends did a great job. Congratulations to Jennifer and the rest of the group.

Riders of the Storm

Hello,

Update on my dive trip. This is our second day on the boat. We had great diving on the first day on an island 15 miles north of Loreto. We shot lots of fish and have slot of fish to take home. I shot mostly red and yellow snapper. Today we woke up to cloudy skies and we are near the northern edge of the hurricane. We did one dive this morning then headed for shelter due to the swell. The diving was still good with visibility to 50 -60 feet.

Talk to you all soon!

Sean Martin

A message from my brother Sean in the path of Norbert in Loreto, Baja. Norbert is a fully developed hurricane with 73-100 mph sustained winds. Sean and his crew are living it out in the sea with this monster going over the top of them. They have anchored close to shore in a protected cove and riding it out...

Seany - The Little Warrior

After much discussion about bows and arrows, Sean finally got his wish. We went to Farm Supply and outfitted Sean with a junior level bow and arrow. Make no bones about it, he has the real tools of a warrior and he is all about it...

Sean in action - look at the form!

Sean really enjoys seeing results of his work and discipline. Not bad...

Sean is learning discipline in safety around weapons, tools, and other similar things in the outdoors and his dads garage. Taking the time to teach him to use tools, hands, and other things that are a lost art in the households. He loves knives but he is not old enough to handle them safely. Soon he will be able to and wittle on wood around the camp site like we all did.

Good job lil man!
