San Diego has a rich maritime history and we have wasted no time acquainting ourselves with it.
We stopped off at the Maritime Museum with my sister in the second week of November. Conor practiced his line of sight navigation

And I worked on hoisting the sails

We visited the oldest active sailing ship, Star of India, H.M.S. Surprise (which was in film Master and Commander), and a Soviet submarine.
The submarine made me so thankful that we have chosen a sailboat and NOT a submarine as our mode of travel!

On November 13th we went out for a sail with our friends, Jordan and Brett and saw both the Star of India and the H.M.S. Surprise under sail. Magnificent!

Here is a video of the boats sailing by us.
Thank you for visiting Jordan and Brett and helping us try out our BBQ! 
Hi Lanea and Conor,
Thanks for all the updates. Love all of the photos and videos, especially photos of you two, Sabrina, and Bernadette! Watch out for those Tall Ships and keep enjoying your adventure.
Love,
Tia Irma, Tio Jim, and Cousin Max
We’ll keep the pictures coming! Xo
Conor & Lanea,
Glad you had a chance to visit the Maritime Museum. Conor looks quite “Master & Commanderly” striking a Russell Crowe pose on the HMS Surprise. Sure you got the right line there, Lanea? Need a little help? I’ll give you a yo ho heave ho! What’s the last picture/movie? If it’s a movie I couldn’t get it to play. Have you been asked to crew on the AC 45′s?

HI Dan, We miss your Heave Ho encouragements!!
Thanks for the heads up aobut the video. You should be able to view it now.
As for crewing on thh AC 45′s. They didn’t just ask, they practically begged… but we are just to busy. Pity.
