Melody

Eric and I are in St Martin and today Melody is being launched.
The hurricane took its toll and we have been counting boats that are shipwrecked.
Tomorrow is the BIG day.
The surveyor flies in today (early for hurricane stuff) and both brokers tomorrow.. The owners have been here getting her ready for us.
We will meet them today.
Claude and Paulette from Montreal.
Melody is a play on French words.
"but the sea says" is the translation of how the word Melody is pronounced.
We don't know French so that's the best we can do!

BTW this our first blog ever so bear with us as we navigate on how and when and what  to post.
Inviting people to join will be my next challenge!

And we might rename this but I chose this while planning the wedding and already forgot how I did.
LOL  Not old yet but sometimes feeling the techie world is testing me!

A few years ago I read a book called Eat Pray Love.
It resonated so I thought I'd encounter on my own journey and call it Eat Sail Love. Spend a year on my own. Kids gone off to school, not sure of the next step but definitely finding my way.

The first trimester I cooked for friends, took a few cooking classes, and concentrated on trying new things to eat.
The 2nd trimester I headed to the Caribbean and captained, played, raced, worked, and enjoyed the warmth of the islands.
The 3rd I started out as a captain in the Chesapeake and there I had my first date with Eric. It was a race  on his 16' cat with me driving a downwind start, spinnaker flying, double trapezes, and we won!

We've been together ever since. Well maybe not physically since he lives in Ct and I live in Cali, but we are getting married in June!

So the third tri was all about love.
It started as loving my family and friends, and blossomed into something bigger.
Finding a life partner.

How cool is that?!?

The EATSAILOVE journey continues as we buy a cruising cat, marry in the BVI's on a tiny uninhabited island, and move in together.

Follow us as we buy our cat, make her beautiful, plan the long cruise in warm waters, and follow our life long dreams of seeing the world by water.
