Winter 2009 Update

We hope this update finds you well and excited for the upcoming Holiday Season! We haven't seen many of you over the past 3 years, and thought it was time for an update.

Jeff and I moved to Rincon, Puerto Rico in August 2007. We have two businesses, Rincon Sailing and Massage Therapy & Holistic Health by Jeff Sinclair.

Our sailing school is predominantly a summer time program (June - August) with a large summer sailing camp. You can check out the camp photos at our website www.rinconsailing.com. The fall, winter, and spring months in Rincon are filled with surf and can limit the amount of sailing we can accomplish, so we manage private lessons in between swells!

I am excited to report that in the fall of 2009, I took a job as the assistant sailing coach for Old Dominion University in Norfolk, VA. ODU is my alma mater and we have one of the finest sailing teams and facilities in the nation. ODU has been bestowed 90 All American honors on its sailors and won 17 National Championships!

I was in Virginia during the sailing season (September – November) and now I am back to Rincon until February when sailing begins again at ODU. While in VA I am living at my Mom’s house in Virginia Beach. It is tough being away from Jeff, but we are managing it well and he stays busy with work and our 3 dogs.

Yes, we have 3 dogs. Magic is our 2.5 year old black Dane/Lab mix. He is roughly 100 lbs and runs like a horse! BG (short for Baby Girl) is our Pit/Lab/Chow mix and she is a ball of energy. She is sweet, loyal; I call her my black shadow!

Ruby is newest member to the Sinclair Clan. She is a blond Sheppard/Chow mix that managed to find our house one day. She is our only blond dog and Ruby is short for Rubia, meaning blond in Spanish!

Massage has been great for Jeff. He is traveling with his table to guest houses, hotels, and client’s homes around the west coast. He manages to stay pretty busy and has earned a solid reputation as a great licensed massage therapist in Rincon. www.zenclair.com

Our home is coming along. We finally feel a bit more moved in. It is a 2 bedroom, 2 bath home on 4 acres of farm land. We have a great orchard full of fruit trees, which seem to be harvesting all year long. We have Mangos, 3 types of Avacados, Grapefruits, Lemons, Limes, China Orange, Marmalade Orange, Guanabana, 5 different types of bananas, Plantains, Mame, Nonie, Canepé, Breadfruit, Starfruit, Coconut, Aceroles…. And so many more that I can even remember!

We have been building a 1 bedroom apartment on to the existing structure of our home. We are nearly finished with the project and it should be ready in the start of 2010. We have some finishing work to do, and it soon will be all together. We want all of you to have your special place to stay when you come for a visit! We'll post photos soon!

We hope you have wonderful holidays and hope to hear from all of you soon!
