or, well, it is to me today
So, I guess you all know I went on a little sail to Bermuda last week. It was quite the adventure. Started off just fine, first two days and nights we flew along. Then the weather came. The next two days we were driven back halfway to the Azores (okay, not quite that far) then the big waves started, and it was all we could do to keep on deck.
Everything that was not fastened with two ropes was claimed by the waves, including my left boot and GPS unit which was velcroed around it. No injuries, lots of fun, only a couple of days overdue.
All in all, a great week.

Too bad you had to part with your left boot and GPS, but that is kind of funny. Glad you made it back.:hi:

10. And sometimes it's just better to have your vacation photos |
|
in your head. Sometimes you can miss so much when you're concentrating on getting the perfect shot.

safe. I suspect this is a vacation you'll never forget.
As much as I like sailing, I don't think I would appreciate the winds and high seas that you experienced.

6. A few thank you's have surely been extended. I'm glad you're back safely, |
|
Gracias a Dios. I find it interesting you did not take your camera, bet that was a tough decision. Don't know if I could have done that, I'm a risk taker for sure. I'm also disappointed there are no photos, but I learned about the mo photos and that they are ongoing, so that gives me something wonderful to check in on.

It sounds harrowing, but I'm glad you had fun. No doubt you have lots of stories to tell about your adventures. Welcome back.

13. Well, if the boot lands on some toxic sludge and mutates into a sentient being, it will know where |
