SAILORS LOVE THE WATER

and these two are floating and sitting pretty in 
Marina Singlar putting the final touches on our boat.

Worked hard today and got the sails on and up and washed the exterior decks.  The heat does impede the progress but we stopped mid day and went to Walmart..............yep.  Finished our provisioning and returned the rental car.  We are both feeling tired at the end of the day and feeling muscles we forgot we had.  Life in Canada was good this past summer but we did lose some muscle mass sitting around.  Wont be long before we are in shape again and sailing in The Sea--Cortez that is. We do eat differently here as well.  The neighbour brought over some fresh, just made corn tortillas tonight and Claes stopped at a side walk stand and brought some fresh vegies home.  Hmmm good.


Well we will say good night and tell you more stories soon.  I wont say exactly which day............cause you just never know what one will find when one wakes up on a sail boat???  Like maybe no internet, maybe just too beautiful of a day to do anything...........one never knows.   See you manana!!!!

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...
