Wow, that's so sweet! I don't feel at all amazing. It was pure fear, really. lol.

how in the world did you do what you did?

LOL! Well, I have been sailing many years and it's really not that hard once you get the hang of it. Solo sailing has its advantages and overall that passage went well. Later on, I made the same passage north with a badly torn biceps and rotator cuff and I can tell you that was much more difficult. (I didn't realize the severity of the injury at the time.) People think they need a huge boat and all this stuff to sail, but if you're a competent sailor, it can be done without an engine or an autopilot on a very small boat. The sea is magic to a sailor. Makes everything worth it!

Thank you for reading, sweet friend!

Ummmmmm. You are elegant and eloquent and all, but you have not convinced me, not in the least, that sailing is easy, or that your adventures have been … something I could ever attempt.

I accept the compliment but I must say that I could never in a million years do what you do either! (((Hugs)))

I merely sit. I merely stand. Sometimes I wield tools like scissors. :)
