Going sailing!!!

We leave in a couple days for a week of sailing in the BVIs!  Having spent two winters sailing there, it feels a bit like going home.  We will see some friends that we made while we were last there and sail on the boat of one of them.

If you don't own a boat, having friends with them is a close second - otherwise known as OPB: other people's boats.  I am hoping that with my new found energy and strength, I will really enjoy the snorkeling and sailing.  I am also hopeful that this will finally allow my emotional state to recover along with my physical state and maybe even get a good not sleep!

We will land in Tortola and our friends will pick us up at the airport with their dinghy.  This is the only airport that I am aware of that allows you to walk out of the terminal walk onto a dock and get into a boat!  So I look forward to a week with no economic, political or health worries and just having fun.
Peace,
Eric

I would be a little jealous, but there is a storm on the way here that will dump 2 to 3 feet of fresh powder in the Wasatch Mountains tomorrow. I'd take 36" of Wasatch powder on a 40 degree slope anyday! Unfortunately I am not any any shape to avail myself of this particular storm, or sailing for that matter. I guess I'll enjoy the sailing vicariously through you, Eric. Be sure to post updates when you are not busy soaking up the rays or enjoying Carribean cuisine!

I was wondering about that "Full Moon Tea", I think you should buy a cup;  maybe a gallon or two.  If you drink a cup a day, maybe you'll start feeling better again.  Who knows?  At least you'd be so high you wouldn't know that you felt like sh*t.  Of couse, this would be for medical purposes only................................trial study.

Have a fun weekend!  I'm sure jealous and I live in Florida.......bet you snowbirds are drooling!!!
