I've been nattering and complaining the last little while about the lack of Fast and Furious WiFi being the largest contributing factor to my inability to post photos and blogs and keep you up-to-date about
Sailing Banyan's Adventures.
Whilst this is true, I find myself at this very moment sitting comfortably on my settee, coffee slowly getting cold in one hand while I stare at the way-too-many photos uploading from my camera to the laptop...and reliving the memories as the photos scroll by me, finding myself mentally writing a book about each and every image.
And once photos are uploaded, and with all the bandwidth that the airwaves can possibly carry, I sit here dumbfounded as my fingers lie frozen over the QWERTY and I can't think of a single thing to start with.
"How's the blog coming?" queries the Capt'n (kind of smugly and with a smirk) as he sees me on my hands and knees wiping the floor, after having made the bed, and washed out the bathroom, but first having cleaned the galley.
There's so much to say, that I have no idea where to begin?? So instead I busy myself with cleaning. I'd rather be out there doing my morning swim and kayaking, but its all been postponed due to rain. So I shut the hatches, again. And sit down again. And face the empty screen.
There's certainly no lack of stuff to talk about given our recent adventures circumnavigating Antigua with family onboard, and here's the chart of our travels that we gifted them with
just before they left.
Then having front row seats at the Antigua Classics races,
and just what is a Classic anyways??
And the legend of Old Bob
should deserve a blog of it's own perhaps?
And wouldn't the wind generated off this helicopter impede the 25 plus knots of wind that the Rainbow was already dealing with?
And the dinghy raft-up concert, hosted by Bodacious,
that lasted well past Cruiser's Midnight.
And where Spirited Lady
and this daring trapeze artist,
and you know who,
were all having all sorts of fun.
There's also reunions of a very special kind that happened, that included being unable to oust Dave from his Wizard King pedestal, and where we hiked over valley and dale,
and got to spend some quality time with Brody, our Favourite Dog, Ever.
Then there's emails we've received on subject matter for future blogs.
A How-to-Anchor with Etiquette perhaps, after just having watched a cruiser arrive in this very large bay with only three other boats in it, drop his anchor directly RIGHT in front of us? Like, Really??
How about a "A What's It Like to Live Aboard Blog?" Or a blog on how I take care of the Capt'N?
"Dave... " I asked,
"Yes dear..." he sighed in anticipation and preparation (knowing it was going to be one of THOSE questions),
"Do I take care of you?"
To be continued. Stay tuned my friends, the rain has stopped and we're off to kayak some, and swim some...
