Merry Christmas to everyone!!
This is our second Christmas on board Zephyr only this time we are doing it as a true live aboard, cruiserish couple. What a change for us. Life has become much more simple as we adjust to living on board. Now we wait for Spring to set off for parts North and South--plus West. East comes later.
Yesterday I was a slug. Just sat and watched TV and read a book. I didn't feel like doing much of anything. We watched a few James Bond flicks and other pieces of fluff. We both finished off the day with a nice walk around the marina area about 10pm. The wind was blowing at 15 to 20 knots but with a good coat, gloves and a hat, it was a nice walk.
Today--Christmas! Rain instead of snow here in Port Townsend. It will wash the decks clean.
I started up the DuoGen this morning. Not much wind but the day is early.
We are both looking forward to dinner at Shanghai. It's like the end of The Christmas Story movie. They are even serving Duck just like the movie.
We wish to all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Tracy's two cents:
Hi everyone and Merry Christmas!!!
Thank you Mickie for our Christmas tree it certainly made the cabin of the boat more festive. I was afraid Santa would glide by, but he did arrive and filled our stockings with goodies and a DVD of the latest Indiana Jones flick, so we'll have a movie to watch after our Chinese Christmas dinner.
The people of Port Townsend are so nice. I thought small town living would be very different. I always envisioned that small town people would never welcome outsiders into their world and I couldn't have been more wrong. Starting with the bus drivers that we traveled with all Summer to the restaurant staff of the couple of restaurants that we have frequented. Everyone has been fantastic. It is definitely a slower pace of life, but they are genuinely interested in those around them. It will be difficult to leave Port Townsend behind, but that is what the cruising lifestyle is all about....meeting and seeing new people and peeking into other cultures. Next Christmas, we should be singing Feliz Navadad and Jingle Bells in Spanish. That will be very interesting. My job this Spring and Summer is to learn enough Spanish to get by, that will be a slow process.
The only job we have to get finished before we leave is the anchor light. Jack and Eric will probably tackle that job next week when the temperatures get back into the forties.
I miss everyone back in Colorado, keep warm and give yourselves a big hug, know that you are being thought of often.
Thank you for all your emails and comments, keep it up, we love hearing from everyone.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
