The gift of time

As we get closer to home, people are starting to ask what the best and worst part of the trip has been.

Updates

The last 3 blogs were posted after the fact as the sailblogs website was down. I posted them on facebook and was just able to repost here. I also downloaded some photos on facebook which I will copy here when I am able. If you'd like to see the photos on facebook, just search for jamey myron. They're on my site in photos/albums. Thanks to everyone for taking the time to read about our adventures and keep in touch with us. It's good to have a touchstone when drifting around!

An Uneventful Day

No big stories today. No water in the boat, lost ground tackle or storms. The boat stayed clean, the kids got along and the weather was beautiful. Not much to write about, but it was amazing to experience. It was perfection. I'm not sure if it's because of or in spite of our recent adventures, but we [...]

It takes about 20 seconds

We left Norfolk early this morning in beautiful weather. The seas were flat, winds were calm and almost no traffic in the harbor (which is rare in itself). Things were so calm that Bob had let me sleep. He got up around 6 to get us going. Just outside the harbor, he passed across the channel to head [...]

Georgetown, SC

We arrived in Georgetown SC today around lunchtime. The scenery here along Winyah Bay is stunning, though we haven’t adjusted to the water color in the states yet. It seems so murky compared to the Bahamas and Caribbean.

Getting older

Now that we are back in the US, one of the girls' favorite thing to do is call and talk to friends. Being away from friends has been one of the hardest part of this trip for them.

Finally in Georgetown! Good thing, too as we were low on groceries, laundry, water and cash. The outer islands here are beautiful, but resources are scarce (as is population). We have gotten so used to being the only people in sight, it's somewhat of a shock to get to a town.
Georgetown is like camp for cruisers. Everyone cruising in the bahamas seems to make it here at sometime. Boats are everywhere, and just like camp, social activities abound. We have met so many wonderful people. Some are from across the world, others from our own back yard.
We'll be here at camp for the next couple of days at least before heading further North and back toward the states.
It's both exciting and sad to think about heading home. I'll be happy to see family and friends, but I thinks we all will have a lot of adjusting to do when we return.
Seems not so long agoi, I was listing things I missed about life on land. Now, I think more of what I will miss about life on the boat: the feel of the ocean breeze on my face as I sleep, the gentle rocking of my bed, sharing so much time together, and the amazing colors here.
We still have time to enjoy, though, and we'll gladly take every moment left!
