Today the winds and the seas were a bit tough getting here, but the ride is a big part of the fun. Slicing through the waves and getting sprayed as the winds blow the spray from the boat back over us and cooling us down. This too is part of the fun of getting out and becoming one with the ocean. The weather is in the mid 80's and the winds about 15, perfect, cool enough that we were not suffocating from the heat.
A fine supper of Quesdilla, potato salad and rum cocktails as the sun sets in the background. There is always a cooling breeze off of the water that makes the evening perfect to sit on the aft deck and watch the stars and satellite trails. It is time like this that answers the question that I am so often asked, "Why do you live down here?" I really can't think of any other place that I would ever want to live. Life on the water is a life that fits me like a glove and one I wouldn't ever want to change.
Tomorrow morning it is pancakes on board and getting everything ready to head back out to sea and back to my reality of work, and a wonderful life in Key West. ;o)
