You may wonder...

It is challenging, this "let go" that Ben and I are doing. Let go of frantic planning....to enjoy the moment...and be able to say yes to whatever comes up. Let go of "gotta" be there, do this, see that....so that we can stay, savor, dig deeper. Turns out, though we asked each other from time to time, we really couldn't stay at anchor. We needed electricity. We needed electricity because I wanted refrigeration. Ben and I wanted an electric windlass. I needed pressure water, and Ben wanted an automatic sink pump. And the milk spoiled without refrigeration. And maybe a shower... A couple of days, perfect days, perfect warm weather, perfect warm water, perfect gentle cooling breezes turned out to be enough for us to put into memory running aground and all the you dids, you shouldas of a transit from there to here. Enough time to start talking about can we's and what do you thinks and hmmmmms. So another successful navigation from there to here is in our log. This morning we did it again: gotta because if replaced with hmmmm. The morning is done, and the afternoon.... The sky is clearing, tide rising, hmmmmmm....
