Ok so there's no
water in Iraq but that happens to be my
current location! Hi I'm Kellie, I'm a
Marine just waiting out this deployment so I can get back to the beautiful gift I just received. This deployment is 14 months long so I was able to take two weeks off which happened to be just recently. When I got home (North Carolina) first things first, dinner at La Hacienda for some guacamole with all my fellow
boat bums. It was at dinner that some one gave me a card and in that card contained a key. That key unlocked the most amazing gift I have ever received (other than my salvation of course). Her name will be s/v Blessed with an official name-change cerememony as soon as I get home for good. She's a 1978 24' Eastward Ho that has been passed down from a
Navy Chaplain. She's in excellent shape and
sails wonderfully. While I was home, I was able to take her out one time with some great friends and my super cool dog. I'm looking forward to becoming a permanent fixture on the
dock spending my weekends
sanding teak,
learning the lines and of course SAILING as much as humanly possible. Until then I'll be here in the desert dreaming of
water and
wind. God bless all of your adventures.
