Jon flew home to Denver this morning, after spending a week in town with us. Here’s what he did with his week:

-Climbed at the gym 3 times

-Went sailing (on other peoples’ boats – a stunning Beneteau 32, a barely-afloat Catalina 27, and a 14-foot JY) 3 times

-Went for an hour long run one day

-Went on a date

-Saw 2 bands play at local venues

-Spent an afternoon helping me make a couple hundred Zero Per Gallon belts

-Spent an afternoon slack-lining in Golden Gate park

-Got drunk a couple of times, during which he drew this sketch of his round-the-world ambitions:

Actually, Jon did a couple more boat-related things while here that I mustn’t omit. He re-spliced the frayed main sheet on Loren’s Catalina 27, and he attached one Norseman fitting to one of our upper stays.

Jon was *supposed* to help us do a lot more boat-related work on Syzygy, but, since she hasn’t arrived, ended up with a week of vacation. So here’s to a productive week, Jon.

As our luck would have it, Syzygy is scheduled to arrive tomorrow. Fingers are crossed.
