I guess you all know that i have been otherwise pre occupado with activities that have kept me from posting. It is difficult to stay motivated about maintaining a sail blog when you simply aren't sailing. I have been busy trying to stick to my daily schedule of drink coffee, clean/charge sora, check the catamaran I'm watching for the dancing Canadians, eat, gym, drink, eat, drink some more, go to sleep...literally that's what i do everyday. This past month dad was gone from the 4th through the 29th so i had lots of time on my hands. I was getting ancy. I have been going through a transitional period. Dealing with removal from American life and responsibilities�getting in shape�meeting new and often very eccentric people constantly�deciding what kind of energy I want to surround myself with. I am excited about this trip again�much like cruising, i am surrounded by beauty that I never could have expected or imagined. I guess all a girl can do is be prepared as best she can and enjoy the ride�
