Sailing

Adam and I got the opportunity to go sailing a couple weekends ago on SF Bay. It was awesome! Our friend Joel's girlfriend goes every year with her friends and they invited us to go along. It was a beautiful day! We rented the boat in Sausalito. It was, I would guess, about a 35+ foot sailboat. We had 8 people and that was the max. There was a small cabin with bathroom (gross!) but we mostly stayed in the back on the benches or on the bow.
Unfortunately Joel wasn't quite ready for the pic! And yes, we are a little sideways.



This is our captain, Forbes, and his girlfriend. He also went to U of M and goes back to Mich often to race trimarans. And for my family: yes he knows and has raced with the Gougeon Brothers. But wasn't sure if he knew Joe. It's a small world!

Garden

Inspired by Sarah's posts about her garden, I thought I would write about mine. I have to say I am a bit jealous that she already had a ripe tomato! I have tons of green ones that I am sure will turn perfectly ripe as soon as we step on the plane this Thursday.

This is what the garden looked like on June 1st. Nice, neat, and contained.

This is what it looks like today. Just crazy! My tomatoes are way too big for the cages and everything is all flopping over... plus the picture is a bit blurry.

One thing we have had a ton of is beans.

We have also had one summer squash and it was great.

But look at the tomato plants! How freaking huge are they? And really, I had no idea what I was doing when planting all these, so we will be having tomatoes coming out of our ears! I think I have 7 tomato plants!
6 are 3 different types of heirlooms and 1 cherry tomato plant.
All of them completely loaded with tomatoes. I'm just waiting....
