Venice Fl. day 1.

TIRED!  my nervous energy burnt off a few calories!  

“I washed your dishes…    I cooked, so you were supposed to wash.   I cooked all three meals today.”    -Lynne   (are they headed for trouble in tinsel town?  watch as it develops.  Pirates diary)

It’s been a long day even though we actually docked by 4pm and didn’t untie the mooring ball till about 11am in Sarasota.  The elements were on our side with little wind and zero waves.  (it was flat calm)  We just motored along and Lynne might be confused that this is what sailing is?

It all started this morning with a very thick blanket of fog in Sarasota.  It was after 8am before things burned off and cleared up.  Then we got busy with departure.  It was not far by any standard, but Lynne has never sailed before so it was a ‘kid in the candy store’ atmosphere with her naive excitement about ‘how sailing is.’ 

Tomorrow and Wednesday will let her know a little more about HOW sailing really is.  I’m expecting increased breezes and seas each day.  By weeks end, she might be a sailor?

I hope it’s calm and smooth wherever you're sailing this Christmas.      Xo skip
