Hi.
I think that I'm getting used to life back at home but... I still don't want to be in one spot for long. I like travelling too much to never leave NS again...
It's late october and I'm still sailing! So much for not wanting to set foot on a boat again! I gave up on trying to resist the pull of the ocean, but that was impossible, seeing as I had to do racing the whole summer, which turned out fun, apart from that annoying fact that I was stuck with a bunch of rowdy boys for two months!
If I had to go again, I would, but I definitely wouldn't go right now! Mum and Dad are planning our next trip... Europe. I'll be taking the plane, so don't ask me how I'm getting there! Sailing across the atlantic right now is not on my list of must do things! Right now, I just want to stay settled for a bit, then maybe we'll go.

Missing the Bahamas, DR and Turks and Caicos... Too cold here..

This is so strange. Going back to Centenial pool for diving and back at the club foir more sailing(I think it rather odd that I still haven't refused to get on a boat yet) and even back in my house. I feel as if I've stepped into another person's life. I feel still out of place a bit.

The strangest thing is going to someplace and seeing somebody I know there.

I walk around all of these so familiar places that I grew up with and I know I'm home yet I feel like I'm dreaming.

Oh yeah.... by the way... my dad still hasn't written that we got home.. oops. I might as well tell ypou that the day after we got into Nova Scotia (you can imagine my excitement upon seeing an NSLC in Lockeport. Even a Superstore bag.) Marine got second degree burns onh her right arm and she was rushed to the hospital in Liverpool. My dad and I took the boat to Liverpool from Lockeport ourselves. The doctors were afraid she might need to got to the IWK in Hfx but luckily that didn't happen.

Back to culture sock...... I keep on wantinng to pump the toilet, turn the lights on first on the electrical panel and then in my room, wear underwear seven days in a row, get in the dinghy to go home, instead of the car, wake up at eleven o'clock in the morning....... you get the general picture... boat life.

I still think it is really wierd, being home and being able to turn the lights on without turning on the wind generator...

So strange.......
