Life is a lot like sailing, one minute you're sailing along in calm and pleasant waters and the next minute a storm comes and sinks your ship. Ok, so maybe sailing isn't that dramatic, but having experienced both extremes of sailing (literally), at least the metaphor isn't lost on me.
After Labor Day I worked 11 days straight with no days off and most days lasting anywhere from 10 to 16 hours. The funny thing is, it was only a month ago I was complaining that, "I didn't have enough to do." Careful what you wish for, buster! We've been busting our butts on an FDA submission which entails creating a heretofore nonexistent program in the span of 30 days - a process that, if done on a normal timeline, would take a few months to put together. Stressed and tired, but pleased with what the team was able to accomplish in such a short span of time.
We were given the weekend to relax before the final push to this Wednesday. So, how did I spend my weekend you may ask? Well, I took advantage of the nice weather and went sailing with my friend Angela. Fortunately, it was a calm day, not one that would sink a ship... I snapped a couple pictures, I hope you enjoy.
There were lots of boats out on the Bay - a great day for sailing
I'm sure that would be a lot of fun if it wasn't for the cold water
Ok, you just have to admit, kite surfing under the GG Bridge is pretty bad-ass
The windsurfers were out too, of course
Angela's feet got a little wet...my legs got soaked (sorry no picture of that)So we had a really great time and topped off the day with a couple of drinks and some live music at Pier 23. Ah, it's good to relax!
