How plans change
14 November 2014 | Skagit County Wa. State
Cold as hell
As cruisers we always herd that cruisers plans are made in the sand at low tide, very subject to change. Being retired we don't mind change. We have had some family issues come up that require that we stay until after Christmas. Family comes first so no problemo we stay, although we are not acclimated to the cold!!! It's November 14th and currently 28 degrees outside! Ice in the fields has not melted in a couple of days. This is our first winter since 2010/11 so the cold is a bit of a shock. The warm sunny (HOT) days in Mexico and Central America seem a distant memory. Did we really just spend three years and 4,000 miles on a very small boat? I find myself longingly looking at sailboat adds these days. But my wife and love of my life has had enough of ocean sailing so I am content to just window shop. We are looking forward to getting back down south; only six weeks away. I'm sure it's going to go very fast with the holidays. We have our back packs ready to go and short of this 20 foot trailer and an old buick everything thing we own will fit in two back packs! It's rather freeing to own so little and we are content to keep it that way. It free's us up to travel where we please. When we get to Ecuador we will again rent a small place to use as a base so we can explore. We will be keeping up our blog if only so that we can look back at our adventures, but we really enjoy sharing the experience. So if you stop by the blog please leave a message so we know you were here. Greeting and salutations, happy Thanks giving and Christmass. Dave and Leiann
