Looking back its been 4 years since I posted here, well its mostly for Me, Myself and I anyway ha ha so I am sure no one really missed me, .
I am still using the same photo of myself online ...although I am now 60 something ... Well eventually I will get around to changing that as well..
Lost of changes in the last four years, but we will kind of ignore them and continue on, the kids and grand kids are all doing OK and that's the important stuff, right? yeah it is .
Now ON to the New Stuff........We have run away from it all ( again) and gone to sea...no really ,I mean it.We bought a 27 foot sail boat we re-named Second Wind and have moved to the coast of BC Canada and we love it.. I tell you ,we thought and thought about it and decided we'd do it and set a date for Dons retirement March 31 2011, and started looking for sailboats and downsizing our stuff.
Of course our luck had to change, and the day after our boat arrived, Don was hit with an attack of vertigo we though he was having a heart attack but after lengthy testing it turns out he has MS. Well we could sell the boat and mope about while he grew weaker or forge ahead and enjoy what time we had left..you know what we did, and here we are, bouncing around in gail force winds this past week..at least we're tied to the dock at French Creek Marina.Don is going to have the Liberation treatment in November, but that will be in another post.
By the time we arrived on the coast it was late in the Summer , but we have had some good adventures. I will let Don tell you all about them as he is starting a blog on our goings on. Mine here is just the usual chatty rambling on that I usually do ha ha.
It is now into Fall, and we did not go south this year as the Doc recommended that Don not travel to far from his Doctors or hospital care. This wasn't the idea ,we were going to be Snow birds and travel south for the colder months, but so far we still have enjoyed life on a sailboat cold weather or not. I love the morning call of the seabirds and the wind blowing , although the bouncing of the boat in weather can be a little rough, it still isn't so bad as the boat is a two step wide and there is always something to hang on to.There is a little propane heater in the boat and if we close everything up we are roasted out !! So I am sure we will do just fine and there are sweaters and jogging pants to ware and I am going to make thick socks.. using all my scraps of wool I insisted we bring ha ha well I am going to post this now and get back to the tale of Me and the Sea tomorrow ....
goodnight all ,
Wanda
