Sad Day.  Lucky Daze!

Now that 2 coats of varnish are complete (and alligators slain), the stainless cleaned & the topsides waxed, we're finally getting back to our preferred method of getting the boat ready to leave -- work all morning, play all afternoon!  Working all day every day is a sure recipe for burn-out! 

Today is sad because the sails are off & stored, but...

This afternoon, we're headed to the swimming pool!

A couple of days ago, a gregarious 4 year old in the pool told me "I have Lucky Days and Happy Days."   

"A Lucky Day is when I get to come to the pool and a Happy Day is all the others."    We should all be so lucky!  :)

I don't know how it feels to sail on the sea, but I can sense a different kind of happiness I guess. I am afraid of being alone in the middle of the ocean, and I don't think I can trust anyone when I am at the middle of the sea. Even when I am on a luxurious trip, I don't think I can have fun when I am on a yacht or a big ship. But I am glad to know that there are people who enjoy that kind of fun. This must be something new to them, but it's good to know that they can experience it.
