Sailing Around The World

Good Morning Folks Or I should say Good Monday!

Glad you stopped by my blog this morning at work and don’t worry, your boss has know idea and if they do then a great compliment goes far. Yup that’s right its Sunday evening here about 6:30pm and on the East coast it is 12:30am. You know it’s hard to explain that drinking on a Sunday night is not a bad thing but if you have a job that requires you to be chained to the desk from 7am to 5pm,  5 days a week , you would shun me. Well I work very hard at not dyeing each day we sail and repairing everything that breaks each day. I feel more like MacGyver in the TV show each day. I surprise myself what I can do with the tools I have. But back to the whole drinking thing, I know its bad to drink on Sunday but after a few Glasses of red wine and a beer I feel like a leaf just falling form a tree on a warm fall evening with the smoky sent of the fire place nearby. Ok, after that sentence I guess I should put down the second beer, LOL. FYI “LOL” means “lough out loud” don’t worry mom & dad gotcha covered on the text language. Well you know when you have a double fisted grip on some local Hinano Tahiti beer you just have to finish it. Then wake up at 6am when the old man is rummaging around the galley for his breakfast and you just say “fuck it” get up and sail through the reef and on to Northern Tahiti, “day 200”. Yes life with your parent after you have been away for 12 years is somewhat hard to be re-accustomed too. I shall not get into that right now and continue with the real point of this blog. What we did in Tahiti was clean the boat from 8am to 2 pm. Then Adam and I listened to a motocross track on the main land and were drawn to the sound like bugs to a zapper. We dinghy to shore and walked a ¼ mile to a motocross track and watch the local all-stars ride the dirt bikes in a motocross. Then when we got back to the boat we watched some crazy asshole fly some little plans off the anchorage around our heads and then land again as we enjoyed some wine. After that Adam made some dinner with my dad’s continuing impute and we drank more beer. Off to northern Tahiti tomorrow and hopefully markets of fruit, bread, meat, and great people to talk to. Miss you Beautiful Lady!

Enjoy It, each Drop, each Flavor, each Day, Enjoy Life
