11 de agosto de 2023, Estados Unidos ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C
Up early and we were heading into the dock to meet Andy. Brian had sent packages to his home that need to be picked up. We got them all and I sat at the dock doing emails and work while Brian unpacked most of them. We went for a walk to the top of the lane and back to the dingy.
Breakfast was using the last three eggs to make some b’fast sandwiches using salsa and cheese…. Trying to be creative.
It was a warm and beautiful day!! Got to wear shorts and a tank top all day! We changed the gooseneck on the boom, the CCU (central control unit) for the freezer (ice chest), and spliced some cables. Brian also cleaned out some other areas. We then bravely decided to ignore the water temp warnings and take a plunge. The current started to sweep us as soon as we jumped in, so it was a quick dip with a warm shower on the transom. We then sat atop the pilot house and enjoyed the sunshine and chat.
I was excited to wear a dress as we were meeting Andy and Leslie for a meal (Thai/ Sushi). I had pad Thai and tuna roll. We then went to get some groceries…. Andy dropped us off at the store and picked us up again (but forgot Mangos).
Sadly, there must have been gluten in the meal and I was sick the rest of the night in the boat.Leia mais

Left Seal Cove early morning and motor sailed for 41nm. It was a beautiful day, but Brian hurt his back getting the snubber unattached from the anchor ride so was taking painkillers through the day.
Eyes always have to be on the water as lobster pots threaten the passage. Happy that we haven’t hooked in several days!
We arrived to our destination and plan to meet Andy (Brian’s friend). We went to 3 different moorings before we finally got settled. We dropped the dingy and went for a little jaunt around the harbour and then got back to the boat, but we were on someone’s ball who asked us to leave so we found a 4th.
Shrimp and a concoction of quinoa, apple, currants and onions (low provisions) were on the menu.Leia mais

A lazy morning that should have started earlier…. We pulled up anchor at 11:30 and motored into the wind for 5hrs… making 25nm.
We tucked into Seal Cove for the night (as there was no other options). The anchor was making lots of noises and we set twice in this small, lobster pot filled, cove.
Sword fish was on the menu tonight along with a back massage.
The swells from sea had the boat rocking lots so sleep was challenging.Leia mais

Storm day! It was an odd day…..We woke up and had our regular routine. Chad (the fisherman) stopped by around 8:30 to drop off 4 lobsters.
We pulled up anchor and headed for more protected waters in the morning. Brian had several calls with crew and family, got his website up and sent out lots of emails…. I did the Retreat poster. Emotions were strong on the silent stormy day, and they begged to spill out onto a page. Decided to address it, to open the box, we had a good chat.
Lobster 1 died and we ate it in the afternoon, the other three in the evening!
More reading and then headed to bed around 9:30 amidst the howling wind.Leia mais

Up early as always and enjoy spending the morning in the pilot house reading or writing in quiet while Brian does the same, sipping our coffee. Watched him view, and make adjustments to his pastel before doing some chores on the boat and waited for Chad to arrive, but he never did. We went to shore and Brian did a Pastel while I found a cosy spot on a fallen tree (albeit ants found me) to read my book. We then walked the mile long beach before heading back to the boat to make a delicious super (haddock, salad, baked potato). Our provisions are getting low but a storm is rolling in so we will find a sheltered place on the other side of the island to wait it out.
Read more, danced to Brian’s playlist and listened to his strumming the guitar… a normal evening on the boat.Leia mais

6 de agosto de 2023, Estados Unidos
Great day! Even though the weather hasn’t been warm (by my standards) it has still been enjoyable and my foul weather gear has got lots of use!
We had a pot wrapped around the prop from yesterday’s sail and Brian had to gear up for cold water and take the plunge to unsnag us. There is a cold water advisory warning people not to go into the waters due to the low temperatures. He was brave!!
We revelled in the sun (and no wind) afterwards untill the wind picked up.
Off to a shack on shore to do a pastel and then on the way back to the boat we detoured to say hi to a fishing boat that had come into this secluded anchorage. Chad and his family were relaxing for the day. The told us that there was a path to the lighthouse behind the shack, and after he promised to bring us lobster, we headed back to the shack.
Went for a walk down the wooden path to the lighthouse — a beautiful sight.
Then onto the stressful, lobster pot filled waterway to Roque island. The waterway inlet gave way to a gorgeous beach and some warm and protected waters. Fishing boats were rafted together, so once we got settled, we decided to go visit them and head to the beach to clean the hairy scum off the dingy. One of the boats gave us 3 lobsters (Brian asked if they had extra). They were cooked so we feasted in the beach before dealing with the dingy and heading back to Lorena.
We had a bit more to eat before the guitar came out and I wafted off to lala land.Leia mais

5 de agosto de 2023, Estados Unidos
What a trip! We saw Jim (from the Marina) who was checking on how the night went and making sure we got off the ball 🙂. We pulled up anchor shortly after 10am and heading toward Mistake Island. We had the Jenny out but didn’t put up the Main sail. It took longer then expected and there were lots of pots to zigzag around. Unfortunately, we snagged one after coming through a narrow passage. We bobbed around in 27ft of water as Brain worked to cut away the pot. Jim mentioned that folks had just come back from Mistake and Roque and really liked Mistake, so following the charts, we headed into the first entrance (before the lighthouse). It looked horrible and at the last minute (after seeing 2 feet on the Sonar) Brian quickly pulled out of the area. We ended up heading down the Main Channel and into a quiet and secluded anchorage, covered by smooth rock. There was a rock fairly close by and I was worried most of the night that the anchor wouldn’t hold. Brian turned in the anchor alarm and it seems that we were ok.Leia mais

4 de agosto de 2023, Estados Unidos
Up and had a nice granola breakfast, coffee and relaxing before pushing off from the mooring at 8:30am at Frencboro. We left under full Main Sail and put the Genoa up shortly after. We hit up to 7 knots and I got to sail for 3/4 of the way. We covered 26 nautical miles and had great wind. Lots of fun dodging the lobster pots, particularly between little duck island. I ended up running between two and it snagged on the back of the tender prop. Luckily we had just brought in the Gennie as we were on a Broad reach almost dead downwind. We let the main out fully and finally managed to come untangled. We bumped along until we go to the harbour, in the rain, and we took a mooring ($60).
Got boat stuff settled and then packed up in the rain and headed for a 1 mile walk to the library. We managed to spend 2 hours at the library and then onto a longer walk to the seafood store for lots of goodies. Back to the boat for lobster, oysters and more. Relaxing evening listening to Brian play the guitar and took a hot shower before bed. It is cold!Leia mais

Leisurely morning, pancakes for breakfast. Headed out from North Haven in search of internet. It has been tough to get work done as I haven’t had much cell signal. Decided to go to Frenchboro as Brain had never been there before. Other than watching for pots, it was a fairly easy trip, we reffed the Main and the Jenny and enjoyed the day of sailing.
We got into Frenchboro and picked up a mooring ball. We hopped into the tender and went to the small wharf restaurant, were two lobster rolls (mine in lettuce) was $61 USD 🥴! The people running it were from NYC and it was there first summer … they were hound and friendly. There was wifi but only a picnic area outside and it was supposed to rain and be cold tomorrow. We settled for the evening with plans to leave in the morning.Leia mais

Beautiful day in North Haven! Up early and enjoyed some writing time. Brian worked on his pastel — they are so beautiful. We saw Charlie and Gabby out on the boat and we were hopeful that we would have a chance to sail with them. Gabby had mentioned 2pm and right around then, they came an asked if we still wanted to go. We got our stuff together, including Ketchup chips, and headed to the dock where we met Mary (Charlies cousin) and we all enjoyed a fantastic sail on Flying Fish. The boat was easy to control and got up to 15knots.Leia mais

Anchor away…. We came off the hook and headed north, motoring and looking out for pots most of the way. I enjoyed being at the helm and great conversations with Brian. We arrived in North Haven, past a beautiful fishing village and around the corner a trimaran emerged. We nestled up to it and picked up a mooring ball.
Some food and an afternoon interlude, then a conversation with Charlie and Gabby who had arrived out to there boat and were cleaning it.
We headed to a small, falling over hut and Brain did a pastel while I read in the dingy. We headed back to the boat and then to shore to have a meal with Charlie and Gabby…. I rode in the cabin while Brian and Gabby in the back of the truck. We went to a Pizza Place (formerly owned by Charlie) and Gabby and I had a great conversation about psilocybin, meditation and her career with WHO and her daughter in the UK.
We walked back to the dock, headed back to the boat and retired for the evening.Leia mais

Another good sleep and off to again feed the meter and have brunch with Ashlynn and Hugo (a crepe place with lots of GF options).
We walked around the neighbourhood again and then headed back to the apartment where we got ready for the spa. Decided to bike down to BotaBota — lots of fun! We throughly enjoyed 4hours at the place doing 4 different Nordic rounds.
Since it was all downhill we tried to get electric bikes but after several stations with no luck and looming rain we decided to take the bus. We got caught in some rain but still a great experience!
Home to some leftover food and gathered stuff for an early departure tomorrow (Ashlynn to the Dr for 8pm and Hugo train to Ottawa, me back to Maine).Leia mais

Had a good sleep and when we were all up, we headed to put money in the meter, grabbed a coffee and went to the metro to go to a Eno Flow yoga class. We then went to Atwater market and then back to the Plateau on the metro. We wondered around her neighborhood visiting bookstores, coffee shops, clothing and vintage stores, and bagel shops. On the way home there was a clothing sale on the side of the road and we stopped for awhile.
Made a charcuterie board and were going to go for sushi but neither place has gluten free options so we went to the grocery store instead.Leia mais

Up and a nice breakfast, then headed to the dock for water and fuel. I got off at the dock to try and find my car and headed to the airport. There I picked up a rental car (Kia Soul) and drove 6hrs to Montreal. Got to Ashlynn’s place and hung with her for a little while before needed to find a place to move my car. We walked to the depeneaur, to get a car pass only to find that they discontinued it. I found parking on the street and it was past the meter time, so stayed there. Ashlynn grilled some tofu and had some potato salad with it…. We got caught in the rain but fun to see the layout of the back yard.
Futon pulled out and ready for bed…. Lots of driving in the last few days!!Leia mais

4 de março de 2023, Curaçao ⋅ 🌬 28 °C
Final Day -- I didn't pack and was concerned at how I would fit it all in again (since I brought a carry-on with Pilates rings but shoved other stuff in as well).
We recorded a Yoga Pilates Fusion video to be used online at 7am, taught my last class at the studio at 9am (and Edward from windsurfing school was there), chatted with him about the studio (first time in 30 years he came to a studio) and classes he will offer, went back to Christels to have a meeting with Laura about finances and Wouter was there as he will help Christel with this part.
Helped with a few Momoyoga things before Wouter and Christel left for a party (Luke and Lindsays) at a private beach.
My flight kept getting pushed so I WhatsApp Heuron auto to keep the car for another hour, and went to Mombo for a final walk on the beach. I came home and they picked up the car, then turned to packing. Michelle was going to pick me up and the plan was 5:30 as flight was pushed to 8:05 (vs 4:45). Then I got a message while still in bikini that it was leaving earlier.... I messaged Michelle and she picked me up right away!
I left candle, wine and some notes for Christel and gave Michelle a candle too. My heart is full and I hope to someday be back!!
I checked luggage in at the counter and breezed through security. Flight was delayed longer -- we got into Toronto at 1am and had to pick up baggage, but couldn't check it in, or go back through security until later. Laid on cold floor by the Air Canada baggage drop off till 3:30. They finally opened but since my flight want till 8am they wouldn't let me check in..... So I just went through security and took my chances that I could put it on the plane..... And I did. Flight was delayed again. I was in a window seat with two others but quickly moved to a vacant row of seats and tried for more shut eye on the flight home.
Bev & Harry picked me up and took me to Dads where I grabbed the trusty Saturn.... Went and got groceries and then headed to bed for a few hours before teaching an 8pm Yin at True (followed by a 6:15am & 9am the next morning). Still working on the Movements website (with Menuka) this week.
** Monday bought Oakley to pet sit so I had to include a picture as he has made the transition great!Leia mais

Kayaking, Networking & Fish
3 de março de 2023, Curaçao ⋅ 🌬 26 °C
Friday was a packed day as it was my last full day and I was fitting it ALL in. I took some time off regular work, and used the car which was great. Although I only used $20 of gas (so didn't go very far).

Ingeborg sailed with me and I had given her my card when we left and asked that she stay in touch as she seemed to be connected to all the people who needed crew. She wroteme a What's App note and we were back and forth through the week. When I didn't get to kayak to the Blue Room I reached out to her as she was connected with Eddy (teaches sailing) and even though it was windy we had a wonderful paddle. She is a great lady and I look forward to connecting with her again if I return.

A quick shower and change and off to a networking event at PID with Iwan. It turned out to be a baby celebration.... The doctors (Erica and Germain), just had their 4th boy (Fender), two weeks ago. There is a Dutch tradition of sprinkles on bread/toast. It was nice to chat with people, but unfortunately I couldn't stay long as I was heading back to Happy Hour at Christels.
I didn't get to say goodbye to Ashley, but Eline was there and so was Alisha. I was so fortunate to meet a lot of great people during my stay.
Christel, Alisha, Wouter and I went to a fish place (right on the water) to eat. You stand in a long queue, order food and they bring it to you. It looked like the only thing I could have was tuna as the rest was fried. However, when it came I went to the kitchen area to check -- turns out they coat it with soy and then roll it in sesame before grilling it..... BUT no gluten in the frier, so fries (and corn fries) were available to try.... And they ordered special tuna steak for me -- Delicious!

** last night of sleep and I slept well every night. I averaged 7-8hrs per night and usually felt great!! I turn on the AC at night, once in bed, put in a long sleeve shirt so the bugs wouldn't bite me, and usually slept ALL night (better than home).Leia mais

After the Kokomo hike, I wanted to get a big candle for Christel. We settled on something smaller (and I picked a mango one for Michelle). Unfortunately, Intergra Wellness was not open till 11am, so we walked around the mall and grabbed a coffee there. We both agreed that malls are awful (and Sambil is very new to Curacao, taking business away from other areas), and service was no better them Kokomo where we waited 30min for coffee and never received it, so left and went swimming.
We then headed to Punda (Pietermaai) and went to Locala (where Michelles artwork is featured), a gallery, the market and around colorful wall murals. The video is the bridge that connect Outrabanda and Punda.Leia mais

I meet Michelle at Kokomo beach at 7am to start a hike. We were to hike for 2 hours and then I was heading back to meet with Christel and Laura about finances for Movements. However, we got a bit lost and ended up being 2.5 - 3hr hike through a lot of brush. Picked some flamingo feather and saw a piece of heart shaped coral that I'll take home with me. Since we had to cancel finance meeting we stayed at the beach and went for a swim around the platform (water was cold).

Blue room cave
2 de março de 2023, Curaçao ⋅ 🌬 27 °C
The plan was to go kayaking to the Blue Room Cave and snorkel along the way. We arrived at a remote beach and Capitian Feel Good would not rent us kayaks. He said the seawasto rough, and was also scared that someone died at Mambo Beach the day before and he was worried it would move like a virus to other beaches. What I have learned is to always expect a change of plans (and a shift in emotions).
We decided to hike but unfortunately I had on white flip flops that were thin worn and nearly ready for garbage. After several thorns dug through, Christel offered we switch shoes. At one point we contemplated turning back as Christel was uncomfortable with locals we met along the way.
We were with Ava (Christel’s childhood friend who was in town) and Wes. They stayed on the cliff with our bags, Christel jumped off, and I timidly climbed down on the coral. Got into the water and guides were with a group, so they helped me get under the rock and into the cave. Once there it was pretty neat, but I had a stinging feeling on my back and wanted to leave as I didn't know what it was.
I returned back to the cliff top and Ava and Wes jumped in. It was nice to have some alone time in the middle of no where.
Once they surfaced again, I decided to try jumping off the cliff (only 10-15ft high) and screamed the whole way down. I forgot to plug my nose so I got a good saltwater rinse.
We went to another location for a cliff jump (about 30+ ft up), and watched Wes and Christel go a few times. Was fun to watch Christel in her element!
Later we went to a Laundhaus for some food (just coffee for me) and then dropped off the crew and back home for a quick shower before heading into the studio to teach.Leia mais

Week Four of Yoga

Hard to believe it was my final week! I loved every minute and I taught the Saturday class before I left later in the day. We also recorded a class in Christel’s yard to be used as on on-line class for later.
The studio is seeing new faces and Ashley was back this week (Joyce will be back next) - two influencers who are posting lots about the studio. Christel is working on her Yin training this week we got Ashleys photos (Influence through the Lens).... It was fun to go through them!Leia mais

Mambo Beach week with the Car
28 de fevereiro de 2023, Curaçao ⋅ 🌬 28 °C
Have car... Will scoot to Mambo beach as often as I could to get in a swim. It was only 1.5km away and a nice area! I didn't always have my phone.... But when I did, lots of selfies to remind me how joyful I felt, how much I loved having my feet in the sand, how I enjoyed swimming and how the sunlight energized me like no other!Leia mais
