Are cooties contagious?

 

Cumberland Island Anchoring, April 5th

A friend and I were discussing the concept of “comfort” since I sent article to her this past week.  I told her I was looking to be a bit more uncomfortable to encourage myself to be more grateful.  I now appreciate flush toilets, easy to change TP rolls, hot showers, all kinds of stuff.  I decided to brave the marina shower facilities and now I even appreciate my own bathroom.  It is just like the bathrooms from camping as a child.  Not my most favorite memory.  I have not tried that hard to NOT TOUCH ANYTHING and balance getting dressed in a long time.  I stood on one-foot dressing while not touching the floor and my yoga is rusty.  It was like twister on steroids.  Yeah, dish that up to a girl who has no balance, thanks a lot. If I get cooties, I will be very upset!

Moving on the more tactical items.  Yeah – we are anchored (for the first time) near Jekyll Island, GA.  I love it here – soooo quiet, and there are dolphins everywhere! 

We left the next morning and I guess this is the trial run of us really doing this as we are marooned on the boat now except for the occasional dinghy ride.  That is fine by me.  Internet is great out here and it has not interrupted one bit.  I think we are staying for a few days then heading back to Cumberland Island to anchor again.

About Ron C

Hi, I'm Sally and this is my husband, Ron. I’ve been doing marketing for the last 30 years for tech companies and Ron is a biomedical engineer. Basically, he knows what he is doing and well, I don't. However, the yin and yang of our relationship is total bliss. We decided after 10 years of marriage, the joy of suburbia, and years of travelling, that this was for us. So, we saved, retired, and this is our story. We’ve taken trips to Costa Rica and love it. Nowhere on earth can you see that many masonry animal statues and not a pothole crew in site. Beautiful. Then there was Jamaica where the night before we left, I broke my big toe and was not able to go into the water. Instead, we experienced the most amazing singing bartender while drinking "Shit on the Grass." No lie. Then there was British Virgin Islands where we chartered a boat three times. Twice with just us and the final time with our 4 daughters. Man, there is no better way to hear your kids complain than in a space that small. That was some quality family time there. Now we are empty nesters, we have purchased a Leppard Catamaran and you are invited to come along for the ride. Should be a total hoot.
