I think the one question I hear most from all you wonderful people is "what is life like on the boat: am I bored???" What could I possibly do all day??? The answer is a lot! It seems like the days just fly by here, especially when we are on the boat sailing lazily through a tropical day. Let's look at what we do:
Here's me in the kitchen chopping up some vegis for a pressure cooker surprise meal!
Here's Omar on watch at the helm - keeping an eye out for vessels, shallows and debris in the water. If the motor is going then we keep a check on the gauges too.
Here's Omar pulling the mizzen sheet up . . . we have to change sails every time the wind changes direction or speed. Some days that is nonstop!
And here's captain above helping the mizzen sail out of the cover.
Hey pervert -I'm in the shower! Get out!
This is more just so you can get an idea of a good lean on the boat when the wind is crazy! There were times Tropicbird was leaned over so hard I thought for sure we would tip.
Strip poker on the boat just doesn't seem to work . . .
Captain upfront meditating on the plank… yes, we have a plank on the boat!!!
Lunch on the boat - freshly made hummus, tomatoes, cucumbers and cracker today.
We came up with a new sport . . .
...sail boat boarding!
Don't let go of the tow line...
...or the sport becomes a new game called Man Over Board!
Nothing like some henna tattoo fun!
It's kind of a game in itself with the boat constantly rocking!
Arrr . . . tough like sailors!
This is what happens wheel you ask a first grade teacher for a tiger tattoo.
Sometimes boat life is lonely. Thank goodness Matt has Teddy Boo Boo Bear to keep him company.
