Its been a while. But, as Ethan and I have settled into a life and a routine, writing about it seems so mundane after all the adventures I have written about in the past. But, as I have been told...those that do read this blog would like to know what happens apres-R-T-W? Well, after going RTW, one settles down and tries to get used to sleeping on the same pillow, having coffee the same way every morning and finding routine things that seemed so difficult while traveling.

We both work now. Ethan at Walsh Metal Works (www.walshmetal.com) and I at BiZVI Grafix (www.BizVIGrafix.com). I am becoming a bit more computer savy now that I market website and software designs, so maybe I should upgrade this blog? Nah. I like it this way. We finally got the internet hooked up at our new home. Yup, we have a home. The first one we have ever had just the two of us. Well, we are housesitting for a couple that are off island. But, housesitting suits us fine. We even have a doggie and kittie to watch. Sir Happy the German Shepard and Tiger Muffin the big fluffy orange kitty.

So, the reason I really got back on this blog was to talk about our latest adventure. Way back when, when we were in Samoa....Gayle (Ethan's mom) started talking about this sailing trip through the BVIs with her friends Karl and Valerie. We thought is sounded so romantic for a 25th wedding anniversary but it was so far away and all...

It turns out we got to go on that trip to the BVIs. We sailed on a catamaran with four bedrooms and four baths and an airconditioned salon room. It was very luxurious. It was very relaxing. The eight person group we were with included Gayle Washburn, Larry Clemons, Karl and Valerie Ball, Adem Clemons (Larry's son) and his friend Julie, then Ethan and I. We would love to do another one of these yachting cruises again. We have also added some pictures from the trip below.

That's the Dodger 2, our yacht for the week and the peeps in the picture are Gayle and Tom Fickle (who is another F'sted St Croix resident, but was sailing on another boat). We had a little interboat party.


Karl and I in the galley, eating seemed to be a big pasttime on this trip.


Sealegs at Cane Garden Bay - first time on land in a while. That's Valerie, Adem and Julie.

Sailing, sailing, sailing.
