I do not suppose either one is right but contemplating them both warrants some attention. Is this a distraction from what is really going on or is the crazy world a distraction from achieving a sharper focus on what is important? Our focus will be very narrowed to just respecting Mother Nature over the next 3 weeks. We appreciate all of you! I feel like there has been so much negativity and certainly, the world seems cataclysmic. We just want to say thank you to everyone who has been supportive of our journey. Our friend, Steve on SV Jeannanne liked our flag so much, that he got one for his sailboat.īesides being grateful for being alive and the desire to enjoy our beautiful planet we also want to give gratitude to our amazing friends.

We even got an Earth flag and Global citizen flag this year. This is to take a more unified, collective stand. And even when people ask us where we are from we say Earth. We both have a general thirst to explore this planet and find creative ways such as sailing to give us an alternate reality on the experience.Įnjoying other places on this big globe to include the ocean brings us closer to Mother Nature. Stephen and I share a similar perspective on life and that jives with the Mark Twain quote. We are always sentimental when leaving before a passage and thinking about why we are doing what we are doing and all the wonderful friends in our lives that have helped us along the way. We awaited the Supermoon to arrive together! We welcomed her presence and she has been here 20 years and lives a block away from the beach. She brought a camp chair from home and sat by the fire. At our campfire last night, 76 yr old independent Katie who walks her dog every evening on the beach decided to join us because she thought we were nice people. Random meetings happen all the time in this lifestyle. We even had connected with folks we met last year here and it is just a reminder that this activity has provided us with long-lasting friendships! These are the type of connections where you could call someone up in 5 years and say hi and still feel comfortable reuniting. Paddleboarding the bay and up the river is so much fun! Beach fires and walks around Princeville and the Hanalei Valley have been great. The beautiful bay here is fabulous to open water swim and the water temp is 78 and so CLEAR! It is a gigantic swimming pool. And then being in Hanalei Bay, Kauai this last 2 weeks has made me feel like our cruising season started already. Also the ability to accomplish boat tasks easier due to locale. Ko Olina Marina in Oahu provided us with lots of new friendships on the dock and camaraderie.

Another month of work would have been financially nice but also we had a relaxing 2 months of preparation as compared to previous boat returns. That is the difficulty about this sailing thing as you cannot predict how the weather will be… some folks left in May last year so we were encouraged we could have had an earlier departure but the weather did not shape up until this week. It has been almost 2 months since we left Nevada. It will be a 3-week passage give or take due to wind, currents, and sea state. Stephen and I leave tomorrow mid-morning for Alaska. I may have even put this one in the blog in the past. These one-liners or few sentences can reshape your perspective or keep you on track. I do love Mark Twain's Quotes and quotes in general and if you follow the blog that will be obvious.

So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor.
