A Fine Marina Moment in December

I'm what you would call,"Christmas shopping" See the mall,a wooden dock rows of sailboats.Hear the halyards whistle a sound that is accentuated wind see the divers and "Boat Project Team " Boys,employed with aplomb.Up here, a raised boardwalk ,lovely shops for presents and if you feel nobody is looking, sneak in a new fresh sale item of clothing,perhaps and coffee as you may just be getting very sleepy.Last nights dinner for16( loads of help,dishes by John.. Divine desserts from Asteroid)was fun ,late and especially,in honor of John!
We love you dude
I like Christmas shopping when there are no expectations...well that ain't true but that's my mind mantra to keep the zen purchase flow or Ill unleash the ,"inner mall -sanitarium nut case."
Philippa left very early this am from Toronto via Grandma Sue and the 2/3 part of the flights was delayed and she sleeps in Miami tonight .She arrives here tomorrow.
Jay returned yesterday and how infectious to feel his excitement and energy as he told us what an adventure he had for the 5 days away. The best was St John a US Virgin Island that is mostly parkland.He rented a jeep,slept in it,hitchhiked,went to a church that's service was on the beach,early the next morning met the two girls who ran the church and had a full on yoga,hike,surf explore kind of power -day with them! He told us of an eco camp ground where you can stay for60$ a night in a hut with 360 degree view up on the hill,it has board walks to link the huts ,just like Swiss Family Robinson.
I wish we had time to go back their with Philippa but Id like to get off on the passage to Bequia
