Blase Day

 Because they (whoever makes up all this silly holidays) must have run out of ideas, Blase Day came in to fruition.  For me, this does pretty much describe my day.  The after party quiet and clean up.  A quick trip to Goodwill donations.  The mall for a last gift.  (How can it be sooo empty of people and stores.  Even the stores that are open have limited quantities.)  It has been years since I roamed the mall.  Now I have even less desire and more blase about returning.

Feeling blase about this cold weather and gloomy skies.  Waking from my afternoon nap and having the sun already setting - blase.  But, a big but, we had an email from Lars at Thunderbolt Marina.  Our boat FLOATS again!  The fiberglass repair is the next step and should be completed when we return to Savannah Saturday.  Finally!

Tonight we saw Wicked, the movie.  My takeaway - what is "good" has a darker side and what is "bad" has a good side.  There is no black and white (in this movie green and not green).  Standing up for what you believe in has a cost but not standing up has a higher cost.  We were left hanging though with a To Be Continued.  

And on this day in years past we had been busy.

                                        In 2007, the Girl Scouts visited a theater to enjoy "Annie".


                                            In 2016, we were in Long Beach, California.    


                                        In 2017, we drove along Chains of Ponds in Maine.


                             And in 2023 we were with Megan, TJ, Emily and Brianna at Southwick Zoo.

Driving Rain and Left Side Road

Image
 Today found us with lots of cloud and lots of rain.  We snuck in a fast soak in the jacuzzi this morning before our last trip to the grocery store.  A bit of fresh fruit (no fresh foods can be brought back into the states) and enough flour to continue my bread making.  We watched the downpour from the game room where I have yet to beat Paul at pool.  The closest I came was so close... Paul won after I left him this shot! The wet made getting on and off the boat a bit tricky.  During high tides, the boat is about 3 feet above the dock and 3 feet away.  Low tide 3 feet too low.  Normally Paul or I pull the boat closer and climb up or down.  Today I thankfully grabbed his hand before jumping - I slid across the wet dock and would have joined the fish on the other side!  Ugh.  No blood only a small bruise to my shin.  No jumping when wet! Our driving experience here in The Grand Bahamas. The signs:        ...

Happy (Belated) Birthday Rebecca!

Image
 I hope your day yesterday was everything a birthday should be at 23!  We love you and are happy you are part of chaos household!  💖  I apologize for being a day late!   Today we had some success and some failures.   Successes = trip to church with donate, dump with garbage and trash, lumber yard for one board needed for the bathroom, washer works well and it was warm enough to dry two loads on the dog run, sanding in bathroom is complete, walls all have second coat, dinner was great (Paul cooked) and tonight we sleep on bed sheets dried in the fresh air! Failures = the dryer is broke (I tried to dry the blankets thinking they would never dry in the cooler air), and the closeline Paul tried to hang is too stretchy (better line ordered). While in town we saw this van (also dropping off donates): And it is World Gratitude Day. People I love:  so many, here are a few:                   ...

Ocean Reef Yacht Resort, Freeport, Bahamas

 It was such an amazing day I don't even know where to start.  After getting all set on the dock last night, talking about our crossing (and our mistakes) and waiting for the adrenaline to subside, we finally fell into bed at 2am. Although the crossing did not go as planned, I am still ecstatic to be here!  The West End is merely a stopping point to check in.  There is a gift shop (with little to no stock), a man selling conch salad, a beach with 2 people, the customs office and marina office.  That's it.  We walked the area in just a few  minutes. The channel out was just as narrow as I remembered .  How we maneuvered in the night - I don't know. As soon as we hit deeper water - 2 sea turtles!  One seemed to pose for the camera but I still couldn't capture him.  So cool! And lo and behold - the wind and seas were favorable!  We raised the sails, turned off the engines and sailed to our destination.  A glorious ride at 6-9 knot...
