i must have done something right in this world or in a past time because I feel like I must be the luckiest person in the world. We have arrived after salty two week passage in Falmouth Harbor, Antigua. After a sweaty day of cleaning yesterday, swimming in the turquoise water at sunset was a gracious thank you. granted, being dockside in a marina full of enormous motor yachts does not create the most pristine swimming situation, but i'll take what i can get.
the passage was a fairly good test of patience and ability to walk side ways. the first day out we were all crawling for the puke bucket as we tried not to get blown over in the heart 15 or so knots. a couple days later we were all laughing and recovered from bouts of sea sickness. we decided that a 95-foot, in-less-than-perfect-condition yacht and crew full of salty dogs would have been the perfect setting for a reality tv show. as the days wore on i felt more and more like it was the perfect idea. luckily though we made an excellent crew, and the drama required for such a "reality" tv show was lacking. phew. haha
I am starting to do some menu planning for the charters coming up. I have been feeling fairly overwhelmed, thinking about timing and preparation, but have decided to let my optimism override self-doubt and persevere. everyone was quite pleased with the meals on the way down, so i'll ride into the charter cooking with that momentum.
on night watch, looking up every night to a blanket of stars felt just as good as being home.
sending big love, and hopefully next time some photos.
