Guyana - Passage Notes

Passage cookies - yum!

Dec 12th - 15th 2016

In no particular order

 

Tom happy to be on passage with passage cookies

How is it our cockpit cushions seem harder this season?

Sailing to windward at times makes me cranky.

Cruisers that do the thorny patch are crazy.

I miss friends that have unfriended me on Facebook.

I hope friends that have unfriended me on Facebook will friend me again once the election is over.

How did we get here – election wise?

Flying fish fly an amazingly far distance.

No offense to Sherwin Williams and Benjamin Moore, but there really is no way to capture the true blue shades of the deep blue ocean.

If I took out enough seawater to fill a big swimming pool, would it have at least a little of this blue color?  Probably not.  Light reflection and all.

Passage cookies are good.  Especially when someone else makes them.  Thank you Jackson!

It makes me sad when all the passage cookies are gone and yet the passage is still going.  

Double rainbow.  Can you see it?

Do triple rainbows exist?  I have never seen one in real life or pics, so…..probably not. 

I like that I have smart friends that I can ask about triple rainbows.  They are like Google and Wikipedia but way more entertaining. 

Living with younger people makes you lazy when it comes to finding information.  They can look up anything online – like your own personal Google.

Lands end - NE tip of Trinidad.  Next stop Guyana

 

Doubles sound good right now.

Dolphins are amazing creatures.

We haven’t seen another ship or vessel in nearly 24 hrs.

Such a huge ocean, however it always amazes me that after seeing no other vessel, I now have a serious crossing situation with a big ship – passing within 1 mile and only because we have altered course.  Really!
