Two Thoughts

Life is funny, when we were sailing it was easy to jump up at dawn and go again. Now that we are home and there are things to do everywhere I find I don’t want to get out of my comfy bed in the morning. The roaring wood stove warming the house that has a slight spring chill, oh I missed this- hmmm so comfy!

My first thought when I got up this morning was, crap I have a couple jobs to look at, the field is tilled and needs planting and oh the gourds from last year need to be washed and Put in the sun to finish drying. Crap the tractor needs work… Then Trina said don’t forget we talked about a BlogDumps overhaul, we need some changes to the site!

My second thought was we’ve only been home a week and here we go again. It looks like it could be a busy spring and summer in all aspects of life.  This year we are growing Lima Beans, Yellow Squash, Spinach, Zucchini, Green Beans, Tomatoes, Cauliflower, Green Onions, and an assortment of Herbs.  Farming this year will be interesting with all the varieties of vegetables and herbs, this will be the largest crop of more then one type ever… Yikes… I hope we can pull it off!

I’m a little late posting today, I could tell you I had to go to the job early but the truth is I slept until the last moment and then ran to the job. I am going to have a talk with myself about this laziness, better yet I could just fire myself and go back to the boat lol

It feels strange to be gone for 5 months, then step right back into the madness of work and children. It’s good to be home.

Atlantic ICW Chesapeake Bay Sailing Top Sites Tuesday

Final Run To The Chesapeake

We are back on the water after many trials, the new engine is working well. With all new engines it will need some adjustments, we will do this when we reach Elizabeth City, NC.

We had one heck of a first day out… It was blowing a stink 25 knots or better and large swells. The wind was in our favor most of the time so this made crossing the Pamlico Sound a bit easier but not much.

We are held up in a small anchorage just south of Dowery Creek It was so calm after the day I fell to sleep with the computer in my lap when trying to write my post…lol

So My first thought of this beautiful sunrise day is can it all go this smooth the rest of the trip? I really hope so we could use a bit of a break with the “little” bit of trouble we have had going home 🙂

My second thought is Thank God for friends… Without the help of my dear friend showing up who knows so much about the engine and how to get it all back together we would have been there, stuck for weeks longer I am sure. It is true what they say about sailing…. A few weeks of utter joy and fun coupled with moments of shear terror. But isn’t that just life?

Have a wonderful Tuesday
