Pictured is Robert, the new hire on board, who is just as green as grass.
Here he is leaning on the rail, looking at the port of Houston, TX
as we were heading for the dock.

Robert is a California born and bred, raised closer to the vineyards of Nappa
than the muscle beaches of the south.
But, he basically hasn't traveled much, so a trip to Houston TX
while mundane to some, was pretty darn interesting for him.

I had air conditioner problems on the boat again today.
So down to the engine room I went to gather the tools I would need
to work on our system, which is outside and 5 story's up.
On the 3rd level, I detoured into my room, to pick up my camera.
I knew I would be needing it.







I wasn't as focused on the air conditioner as I should have been.
