Walking Dead

Well sorry everyone for the delay on the blogs but I have just been so busy lately! We have had my birthday, Halloween, school, school and more school! Anyways we just arrived in the infamous Canary Islands after a amazing 5 day sail. The Canary Island are our jumping off point for the month long sail across the Atlantic Ocean. Before we left we decided to make teams of two to tackle the night watches. Team 1 or "A" is made up of Dad and I. Me....being the underway chef and Dad...being the sailor and we make for a great team. Team 2 or "B" is made up of Mom and Alex. Mom being very easy going which is great if you want to watch shows in the cockpit or eat potato chips and Alex being the expert sailor. Now what team do you vote for?

The sail was absolutely fantastic and we couldn't have asked for a better one before our crossing. Blue skies, 10-20 knots of wind in the exact direction we wanted it. At nights the sky was littered with stars and during the day you could bask in the sun.

We had a very interesting experience with a bird on the boat. I was in my room and had just woken up from a nap when I hear mom say with her face in my window, "ok, don't be afraid and don't move but there is a bird inside the boat." I say ok and lay back down and listen to the very interesting dialogue...

Mom: ok you boys have to go get that bird
Alex: yes. Dad come on
Dad: ok you go at it from that side and I'll go at it from this side.
Mom: AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHBHBBHHHHHHNDFNFJDJFJDJXJNEJSJ
Dad: The birds gone
Mom: OMG ITS ON MY HEAD!!!
AHHHHHHHHHH

The bird finally flew away and we all we were left with the image in our head of mom with a bird flying around her head...I'm still laughing. The salty crew has got addicted to 4 tv show. Are you ready to hear the names of the best tv shows in the world?

K I know that some of my family loves "The Walking Dead", so I just have to say this.... "What do you think is gonna happen now?? I mean Laurie and T-dog are dead and there is a new baby like WTH?!?" K I'm done. :-)

Anyway we made it safe and sound to the Canary Islands and finally had a shower. Hallelujah! I am very excited to explore!

Till next time

  3. Hey - glad you made it and in addition enjoyed the sail. Sounds like you are adjusting to Salty Ginger and she is adjusting to you. Sounds like a pretty unique birthday. Did your Mom really not give you our gift until your birthday. Can't see her waiting:)::)
