Barbara update, 5/12/2010

We are tied up to the dock and waiting to be hauled out. The sails have been removed, the sourdough starter has been used up and the jar washed. Fuel tanks are full and the holding tank is empty. There is still much to do, but this is definitely coming to an end. Some sadness, I guess that is to be expected. However, there is always something to look forward to. We will soon see friends and family that we haven’t seen for a long time. Knot Ready is waiting for us. I’m glad that we have the graduation fun and celebrations to ease this transition. I have noticed that I have gradually written less updates. Have you? I have some thoughts I’d like to share with you about that. Is it possible that we gradually become complacent with our lives as we live them? When we first started this adventure, everything was worthy of comment, at least to us. Then I often found myself thinking that some sight or thought was noteworthy, but questioned whether or not it would be to others—and let it pass. Eventually, most things became routine. How sad is that? Even when we have time to “stop and smell the roses” why don’t we do it? Just because they are there every day, doesn’t mean they are any less fragrant! My wish for you and me is that we see wonder in the small things, the everyday things. Is it possible to remain “in the moment” all the time? Is it possible, in our daily lives, to always remember what is really important? Reggie is up on deck, stowing things and talking to someone. I just looked up, and saw all of our sails completely filling the V-Birth. I’m trying to see the beauty in the free form folds. I guess I’m not there yet. I’ll keep working on it. Any suggestions!? Barbara. She also cooked a big pot of 7 bean soup and two loves of sourdough bread and is now making spaghetti with fresh shrimp.

7 bean soup, spaghetti and shrimp Enough already. You're breaking my heart and I'm on a diet. I can smell and taste it. God Bless you both! Some of the best times in my first marriage were cruising the California coast with my wife, a good sailor and a great sport. Thanks for the updates!
