Waiting to Exhale

Pop up TStorm made for a dramatic sunset
When we are not on s/v Honey Ryder, (which these past 2 1/2 years has been more land life than boat life) it sometimes feels like I am taking short, shallow breaths just waiting to exhale...ie waiting until we can be on the boat again.  I arrived to Brunswick early this afternoon and soon found myself exhaling deeply in the cockpit of s/v Honey Ryder.  I didn't even realize I had exhaled so deeply until after when a calm, warm, balanced feeling washed over me.  Aaaaaahhh.

More James Bond in Celebration of 50 yrs of Bond

Tres chic oh la la
Check out what University of Pennsylvania students did with the James Bond theme.  Go ahead, I'll wait.  Ok, that was the kewl factor James Bond.
Another fabulous classic
Now for a funny but weird tribute to James Bond,  Bunnies - Yes, BUNNIES.
Release date of October 9th, good tunes -a must get
And of course, you can't have a tribute without a James Bond Lego tribute.  There are tons more out there... funny, interesting, weird and a few scary.  This includes those of the everyday schmo acting like James Bond in their basement's.....adults, not kids.

Dr No 50th Anniversary

Classic
October 5th 2012 is the 50th anniversary of premier of Ian Fleming's 007 James Bond Dr No the movie.  The crew of s/v Honey Ryder will OF COURSE be celebrating this occasion given that our boat is named after that first and infamous bond girl, Honeychile Ryder.  She quickly became the gold standard by which all other bond girls have been judged.  *And I am sorry but Halle Berry playing NSA agent "Jinx" coming out of the surf didn't even come close to Ursula Andress.
Joseph Wiseman as Dr Julius No
So dig out your best James Bond tuxedo/wetsuit combo, shake up a couple of martini's and join in the fun.  It's bound to be on TV at some point on October 5th.
Coming to a theater near you soon
Also - New James Bond film "Skyfall" will be out at the end of October.  A little internet research/rumors tells me Adele is singing the theme song.  Most importantly, seems 007 will be spending some time on the lovely pictured below....the Perini Navi yacht s/v Regina.  Sssheesh, people - where is your mind.  Then again....it is 007.

Mega yacht Regina

s/v Regina
Can't wait to see 007 in "Skyfall"!
