Hora Feliz on "Victory Cat"
To welcome Tim "home" to "Victory Cat" after doing the work thing in the US, Ruth had us over for happy feliz last night, along with Erin and Paul of "Romany Star".
We LOVED Ruth's Christmas tree!
Paul, Erin, Ruth, Tim, me and Jim.
I talked them all into doing my family tradition of making faces.
Oh I have to catch up! I have been slacking off on the blog reading because I have been in a piss poor mood, looks like yall had a great time! I love a feliz! When are you leaving?!
Funny huh? My friend Erin has a piano somehow installed inside her boat... not quite sure how as I haven't seen it yet, but told her she has to play it for us one night. I was behind in posting, so all the recent ones were just posted yesterday, so no worries. You will find a job soon! Leaving hopefully Jan 2 - yipee!
We cruised Mexico's West Coast for 3 years on our prior boat, "Thistle" a Columbia 50. Went back to California in 2000 and bought the "new boat" in 2004. We then spent a year and a half cruising in Mexico. We just did the "Baja Bash" ~ sailed up the outside of Baja and returned to SoCal! We are We are now back to work for awhile...
A thought we say to ourselves everyday:
"You'll only regret the things you didn't do".
"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." ~ Mark Twain
"Life is either a daring adventure or Nothing." ~ Helen Keller
"A ship in harbor is safe, but that is not what ships are built for." ~ John A. Shedd
"Make it happen." ~ Alan Burg of the sailing vessel Toshal
"Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take but by the places and moments that take our breath away." ~ Anonymous
“Happiness is not having what you want, but wanting what you have.” ~ Rabbi Hyman Schachtel
"Make 'someday' today." ~ From inside a Dove candy wrapper
