This week on board:
*We sailed a night and day from St Martin to St Thomas. Ondine was back in USA for first time in five months.
*We picked up the Bricault family; Paul Cicek, Melise & Destin.
*We sail to St. John in a squall and moored at night. Note to self, maybe not the best way introduce guests to life on board.
*We hung out in St Francis Bay, St John.
*The kids taught each other every card game they know.
*Ronan & Melise spent five hours straight in a friends pool.
*We sailed to the Bitter end yacht club in BVI. Thanks to our lovely friends, we stayed on a dock (1st time in 5 months), while they stayed at the resort. We felt a little like the hick cousins staying on the lawn in our RV, a 55 Ft floating RV.
* Saying goodbye to friends again was hard, especially for Ronan.
* We crossed wakes again with Paloma’s resucers from SV Life Part Two. We are about to set sail with them for Tortola.
What did you do this week? Please share your week in the comments. We love hearing from you.
Unfortunately kids do get sea sick. They have good drugs now and we love ginger ale. Getting to drink soda almost makes it worth being sick for the kids.
I totally agree that having more makes it easier. Lately when ever Ronan asks me what he can do I say ” find a cure for cancer”
Love to you and yours. EKC
And here’s me wondering if I can face taking our 3 kids on the overnight ferry to Tasmania this winter (for fear of rough weather and sea sickness)! Someone said they thought kids didn’t suffer from sea sickness. I was unconvinced, but am curious: is there any truth to this?
This week: Ted had his 7th birthday party (Ninja and Skeleton theme; his grandma made him a fabulous skull-shaped cake with snakes coming out of its eyes, dusted with icing sugar that we brushed off with a brush she supplied, archaeological style, before slicing). We had the party at the local park. Kids ran around madly while grownups chatted – the perfect arrangement.
School hols began yesterday. And tonight I have 6 kids at home – 3 of my cousins’ kids staying over – but they pretty much look after themselves – all I had to do was feed them and make beds. In some ways it’s easier with 6 than with 3!!
