Ahhhhh……quiet, what a wonderful day. On Sundays the marina staff are off so that means little work is happening, which means no 330 ton travel lifts going by, no banging, no yelling. We could actually hear the birds chirping in the trees. It was also a gorgeous day, blue skies, temps in the 70s and a nice breeze. We woke up slow and decided to make a nice breakfast for Easter. Shortly after getting up, we got a phone call from our friend, Hasan, who we met 3 years ago when we brought the boat to Datca. He has become a dear friend and he stopped by to say hello. We enjoyed catching up with him for a while, and after he left decided to get a little work done. It was actually enjoyable and just felt more relaxed because we could listen to some music and there just wasn’t the frenetic energy that is present on the other days. Later in the afternoon we decided to take a walk and check out other boats in the marina to get ideas for how we want to build our dodger. With an ice cream in hand, we leisurely walked the docks and looked at boats with the warm sunshine on our faces. We both noticed how relaxed we felt today and it felt good. The relaxation only continued as we returned home, shared a beer, read and played stupid computer games…. Only 6 more days until Sunday comes again!
Hey! It's Mike!
The first speedo sighting of the season...here we go.
Sounds like you're getting in a groove and really need those Sundays. You guys are making a lot of progress -- keep it up. Love and miss you both.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds pretty daunting and of course it is hard to live in the same place where you see all of the projects, all of the time. Glad you are learning to take time to just be--please send us the secret how to do that and we will send you as many blue poop bags as you'd like. With or without Sunny's poop?
ReplyDeleteJust keep thinking of floating alone in a small bay on some remote island with the blue Aegaean below and the blue sky above.
love, Mom & Kirk
Regarding that Speedo.....just because the article of clothing fits doesn't mean it's right
