OH Gee It Was Only 80 Degrees yesterday!!!

Brrrrrrr!!!!!!  Went down to 59 degrees  in the night but went up to 85 today with Courmwels blowing gently and  clear skies.  Perfect weather for what we have to do the next few days.  The Captain is amazing and has pretty much got The White Shell all ready to be put on the hard for the next six months.  Never realized but there is a lot to do to insure that your vessel is hurricane safe as well as protected from extreme heat and rodents and bugs. If anyone wants details you can check the Club Crusiero web site listed in our favourite links on the ride side bar!!   Listed under La Paz info. Or you can chat with Claes anytime.........just Skype him!


Off to the dentist today.  Excellent dentists and prices here so we shall begin with a conference for further work when we return as we both have need of that.  The Captain is hopping for a filling today and I a cleaning!

 Last evening we joined  Steve and Kristen from S/V Nautilus for a fun evening of chatting, eating and just plain enjoying each others company.  They have become our very special "YANKEE" friends over the last six months.  They taught  us a new card game  last night and we shared lots of laughs and information of the Sea.  Kristine  has recently taken up beading and presented us each with beautiful jewellery that she made out of shells that her and I had picked  in November.  Very talented  lady she is! We will miss you two and look forward to seeing you in Comox this fall!

Well folks..............that is it for today.  Keep praying that all continues to go well for us.  Lue and Claes and Joey

LOL   The thrill really is in the hunt right ladies?  and for us grandmas  it is an exercise of love for the "kidz"".  As this Abula searches for just the right color or item I think of the child I am shopping for:  the joy of remembering the voice, the smile and the bright eyes ........ahhhh so sweet!   There are a few authentic crafts here in Panama such as  the Embera Baskets made in the Indian Community  the Emberá basket is a one-of-kind piece and is the result of many hours of labor as well as an expression of the artist's own individu...

MEMORIES……….are made of this!

  I woke up today with a touch of a sore throat; not sick enough to make a request for light duty but uncomfortable to the point of not wanting to do much. I forced myself out of the bunk. You know how it is-- if you sleep during the day --night comes sleepless! Not wanting to waste the day sniffing and drinking tea .. i do prefer coffee……I attempted to keep myself busy with my chores. My interest quickly waned and I found myself at my desk……I began sorting through the small cupboard that acts as our filing cabinet. Yes, reminding me of the past  boat rule: all items must have two purposes which now  applies to our land home……here in the Comox Valley.   As I thought  of past years piled high within these  files of book work and accounts for our lives i managed a smile and reached  into the back section of the  cabinet.     I knew there was one file that held no numbers;  this plain ivory colored manila folder secured wi...
