what I'm doing now

In 1999 my husband and I bought a sailboat and we lived aboard, cruising the US east coast, Bahamas, and Caribbean for three and a half years. Our cruising web site has photos and stories. (We also went back to the Bahamas for winter, 2004.) Now we are living in Durango, Colorado; ultimately we'd like to split our time between here and the boat. You can read my livejournal for boring minutiae about my quotidian life (updated a few times a month).

Work-wise, I'm currently writing a column on weather for the Durango Herald , freelancing for a variety of magazines, and working part-time via the magic of telecommuting for the Climate and Global Dynamics Division of the National Center for Atmospheric Research.

My name is Hebrew for "tree". It's not a common name, but there are a bunch of other Ilanas out there on the net.

I'm lefthanded, and my birthday is no longer on this site after I was victimized by identity theft. I'm older than I look, or so I like to think, and can be considered either a member of the Baby Boomers or Generation X depending on where you choose to draw the line.

exhilaration

I enjoy outdoorsy stuff: things that involve physical challenges in beautiful scenery. Some stories about and photos of our adventures are in these pages:

hiking and backpacking (Current, and frequently updated)
climbing rocks | river rafting | sailboat cruising (older adventures)

scribblings

If you're reading, I'm writing.  (all older stuff)

friends and relations

My husband may eventually put up some pages of his own.
Some social occasions captured on digital non-film
Some of my relatives: Oren | Allon | Dad

orts

Miscellaneous stuff that doesn't fit anywhere else
