Today I told Dave I would write the blog. I have been waxing philosophical and once again decided to share it with the people who read our blog - sorry about that!

We have been sailing for 4 ½ years. We have been so blessed because we have had lovely weather most of the time. We would have the occasional squall for a day or two of rain but for the most part we had had great weather. This last year when we went back to the states, we traveled all over - east coast and west coast. We had amazing weather! We were on the east coast for 3 weeks in December, visiting my sisters, Dave's brother and friends (all terrific visits by the way) and we had wonderful weather. It was tremendous! Well it is time to even things out. The gods have said "Time to pay the price of all these blessings!" We have had three weeks of "not so good weather" here in the Whitsundays. It looks like we need to pay a little more because the weather is still bad. But in all fairness we are safe, snug, have food and are with a loved one. What is wrong with that?

We did laundry, cooked, read, played games and rested for when we could swim in the future. In life, it is what we make of it When you get lemons make lemonade! Well, until we speak again
