Settling in.

Chanty is now in the water.  I have been working on the bright work a bit, already have 5 layers on the hand holds on top.  This past week has mostly been organizing the boat again, getting stuff in storage and getting settled in my new marina.  I discovered a really nice bike path close by that goes right to the beach while I was geocaching the other day.  TONS of geocaches here in LA.  I can see those will bring me a lot of new places. Took a ride to work in the car...it took 45 minutes to go 8 miles.  Rode my bike to work, just to try it out...took me an hour, I really thought it would take less time since half of the way is no stops on that bike trail.  Don't think I will be making it a habit. Besides the ride back is murder...against the wind from the ocean.  And holy smokes...don't get in the way of those professional bikers...they mean business.  I was so exhausted by the time I got home, can't imagine doing that after a 12 hour night shift.  Tomorrow is my official first day of work.  This week will be just a bunch of orientation stuff.  After that, I will be starting back into a routine.
