One of our friends, Anna, will be attempting to swim around the Isle of Wight (that is 60 miles) tomorrow.

I will be out on the water with Alex taking photos of his diving operation, so hopefully will be able to cheer her one.
Lend her your support, this is a massive undertaking

So, after full day out (in) on the water scrubbing hulls, Alex got an emergency call at 10:00pm. A tug had wrapped a rope around it's prop in Southampton and needed to berth a container vessel (not having propulsion is a tad awkward in that situation). He got back at 2:30AM and then got another call at 08:00 for another prop wrap, I think he's earning his bacon….

I can do that…
Just have to split it up across maybe 600 days is all...

Started doing yoga today after telling myself I was going to for the past who knows how many years… Surprised myself in being able to do a few of the poses I thought would be difficult including headstand and one legged koundinyasna (more than likely misspelled it, sorry)... I'm pretty jazzed and looking forward to implementing this into my morning routine.

After owning both White's Semi-Dress and Viberg Service Boots for several months, I have come to the following conclusions:
-Viberg boots are prettier. I like the 2030 last and the sleekness of the sole. White's boots are just chunkier and not as attractive.
-White's boots are more comfortable. Both pairs of my Viberg boots were initially a bit stiff, but broke in well, but my pair of Semi-Dress were perfect from the start. It feels good to take off the Vibergs at the end of the day. The White's still feel wonderful after a full day.
-While the Vibergs seem like they will last a very long time, the White's seem like they will last forever. I reserve the right to revise this conclusion in a decade or so.
-Dainite soles look cool, but do not have good traction. Commando soles have slightly better traction than Mini Lug soles.
-At 60% of the price of a pair of Viberg Service Boots, the White's Semi-Dress is a great value.

First night at UCLA today. This is crazy and awesome.
