And they made it...

Wow  - I've been a very bad blogger.  Oops.

Before I share pictures from their trip accross the ocean I have to tell you how sad I was on Saturday.  It was the last day of Chocolate Boot Camp and I hadn't signed up for July because I am going to be out of the country for two weeks.  Doesn't mean I won't be writing, I just won't always have access to the internet.

After two months the thought of not thinking about chocolate made me sad. =...(
But I asked if I could play even it I couldn't always update and I got a thumbs up.  YaY!!

Okay now for the fellas and their crossing.

They dodged a storm but did experience a microburst.  The winds went from 10  to 48 knots in 60 seconds.  There was some scrambling to reef the sails I can tell you!! That or hanging on for dear life.

They left the Chesapeake Bay during rush hour apparently and there was a ton of ship traffic that they had to dodge.  That is always - interesting.  Especially when I'm at the helm and DH is below.... I get a bit nervous, so I'm glad that it was them and not me. ;)

DH loves to drag a line when he's in the ocean and this time was no different.  Here's a close up of a fish one of the crew caught. 

Martin's Fish

One of the other crew members caught a fish too.  I'm thinking he used Martin's bait, er I mean fish to entice this bad boy.
Trevor's Fish

No trip is complete without Dolphins dancing with the bow 

or a sunset.


Tomorrow they are off to explore the islands and see what wonders they can find.

  1. Glad to hear that everyone is safe and sound on board. That looked like a baby flying fish didn't it?

    2. Yes, it was a flying fish. We didn't actually "catch" it. It landed on our deck as it was flying along and we just picked it up, took a picture of it, and then threw it back.

    1. You'd have more fun stowing away with me in a couple of weeks. All they had was ocean, ocean, stars, ocean and more ocean. I'm gonna have beaches, ocean, fun, easy sailing and general relaxation. ;)

  3. I don't think I would like sailing but I do enjoy it vicariously through you. What a cute little fishy.

    1. I like sailing the way we do it. DH does all the REAL sailing stuff. I do all the little sailing stuff, going from island to island. Fun, sun, beaches relatively stress free.
