Auf Wiedersehen

 Auf Wiedersehen – January 30, 2022

We had spent the last several days hanging out on the boat and Ron was fixing everything he could get his hands on.  He also baked me the best artisan bread ever!  We ended up eating it for lunch the next several days with bean dip, marinara, and oil with spices.   Gotta love a man who can not only cook but bake too!  I won the jackpot!

I also read through a cool book called “Follow me to Alaska” by Ann Parker.  Although the specifics of her situation are drastically different, our experiences are eerily the same.  As empty nesters they made a huge life change that everyone thinks they are insane for doing.  I understand and appreciate this.  One of my retirement goals was to have more time to read and it was great to finally have that.

As we waited out our final day today for the sea state to calm down, we decided to hike back to Boo Boo Hill to leave a plaque with our boat name and names on it.  Clearly, this was not an original idea, and we were not the first to arrive.

 

Ikea scrap Mariposa Sign.  

Lots of boat signs over the years.  

Once again the view from the top is always almazing

Tomorrow morning, we were heading to Staniel Cay since it was the only place we could get fuel and we now needed not just gasoline, but we decided to get diesel as well.  We were down to ½ a tank and would have few opportunities the farther south we went.  We enjoyed our time here and will potentially stop back at the park on our way back through but for now, auf wiedersehen.

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.
