Palm Tree Therapy II

The west wind is bringing the salty smell of the ocean over the sand and mixing with the cool music of the islands.  Terra Cotta roofs reflect the warm Caribbean sun.  People are laughing and talking, but you don't really every hear any of the words spoken.  It's palm tree paradise.

There is no cell coverage and no wi-fi.  There is just palm tree coverage.  Tall towers of palm trees offering the perfect amount of sun and shade at the exact same time.  As the wind passes the leaves, you can actually hear them whispering to you.  "Welcome to the islands", they are saying.

The therapy is happy trees and happy people.  Happy people are more attractive and no wonder we are attracted to the places where palm trees grow.  They just make us happy.  Tall Trees, cold drinks and strangers who are friends that we just have not met yet.  Welcome to the Palm Tree state of mind.

Half Time Report

Time presses on and half a year has passed.  So NOT close to being on the water, you would think that my foot was nailed to the ground. 

The warm spring caused the sailing itch to come early and burn longer. Now, summer is in full swing and it is time for some family travel. I hope that things will free up for us to complete a winter charter to the BVI for my 40th birthday.

Our boat has been for sale for a few months and there is hope of a sale just after July 4th. Then on to the prospects of searching out a new sailboat just in time to tuck her in for the winter and dream of her launch. So much to do in so little time. Half time is the time to buck up and learn from the first half. Now is the time to finalized the game plan and get to work. Time to sail on.
