Remember that time we were on our way to a regatta in Bakersfield? It was the fall championships and the whole team was there. We sailed really well, the best we ever did up to that point in fact. Remember lying like dead people in the van, seeing the falling cow sign, or better yet the 12 year old who hit on you, and then tried to give you beer and talk to you about sex and partying? Or even better--remember finding the cat in the van at the Stanford regatta? Haha. Ahh….I miss you, you were the best thing that ever happened to my sailing career. Who would have thought a few years down the road that we would actually be winning those things? Or even better yet, who would have ever thought that I would learn to control my competitive spirit and stay in my own boat when I got pissed off. Haha…I hate UCLA.
Anyways I was thinking about our Van rides the other day and remembered the time we were going to the Pacific Coast Championships in Long Beach. I was in the back seat of the van with Greg and Lauren and you were one seat ahead of me with Erika. I was telling you that I thought it was weird how I always look like a giant in photos. You thought I was full of shit, and kept making fun of me, so I made you take a picture. You then took Lauren’s camera, took a picture of Greg, Lauren and I, and sure enough…I looked like a GIANT. It looked like I was holding my live human dinner under my arms. We laughed for hours, and every time I think about it I still get a good chuckle! Get in my belly!
Well, here’s to that memory:

Ah, the memories. I especially remember the first race you did not hit another boat and how proud you were of yourself. Pretty sure you were involved in a collision the next race.. Thank you for everything you taught me about Cali such as: when speaking about highways add "the" in front of the name (ex. The 5, The 101), orange trees are round, saying "that is retarded" is completely unacceptable, if I wear a military uniform on the CSUMB campus I will, at the very least, be verbally abused, and countless more facts as I forgotten. Someday we will both be back in Cali. Until then, Aloha. Enjoy the Big Apple.
