Happy Holidays!

We've been meaning to write a post now for over a month, but time just keeps getting away from us. That and crappy Internet. So, I will provide an update without being too wordy. Surprise, surprise.

Here's how we spent Thanksgiving. Yes, that's a watermelon I'm cutting up and it was delicious! I also washed our clothes in a fancy (not really) portable washing machine our new boat friends gave us. Please don't hate us because we live in paradise and can wear shorts and tank tops during winter.

 

We finally got Jade out on the water with our sailing instructor. He also does rigging and various other boat projects so it's been difficult scheduling lessons. 


 



We also found time to relax and enjoy our surroundings.


 

We scored another anchor for Jade. I know it looks like Susana is ready to go to war, but it's really just an anchor.


We went to a bar at the marina for a Christmas carols sing along event. Thankfully, I did not get up an embarrass myself despite the amount of margaritas I consumed.




Susana, the gourmet chef, has been making treats and amazing dinners. She made us a lovely New York steak Christmas dinner.




It's s tough life, but we somehow survive!


We're planning to take Jade out tomorrow without an instructor for the first time. We chose a very light winded day for our 'captains only' maiden voyage. Hopefully, we won't get lost at sea and we'll be able to report our progress.

Cheers!
