Hi all. Just wanted to give a little lettuce advice to Renee. If you can find “live” lettuce and you keep the roots wet, it will keep for weeks and I mean weeks. Otherwise, you don’t want to keep it dry because lettuce is made mainly of water so keeping it wet is imperative. I separate the leaves, wash them and put them between paper towels. Wet the whole bunch with a shake of water and put it all into a plastic bag in the fridge. With either of these two methods you will have crispy lettuce for way longer than three days!

A bright young man well on his way to a beautiful future. That's not to say that there will not be emotionally difficult times as there are for anyone, but indeed his creativity gives him many options to immerse himself in - photography and cinematography, video editing, songwriting and guitar playing not to mention his natural gift of telling a story and absolutely engaging his audience. Throughout my life I have been lucky enough to be surrounded by very creative people and to immerse myself in my own creativity. I highly recommend to anyone that is suffering with depression to find a hobby, to find a passion where you can release a creative spirit within yourself.

It's been so long that I have paid attention to not only the weather, but also the current and tides to determine wave structure. My interest was for surfing, snorkeling and diving. My interest in the structure of the seas came when I read The Old Man and The Sea, and Kon Tiki, especially Kon Tiki an epic ocean voyage. Following seas and fair winds.

This video was completely, totally enjoyable and one of the best of late. Where to start? Loved the shots of people leaving the boat, arriving to the boat, preps, narration of sail replacement and on and on. Luke is an old friend who seems would fit in anywhere like a glove. His hair? Because its Luke, accept but really? Too much. More hair than my Afghan hound!! All concentrated on his head. Addressing comments about Finn. Sort of glossed over but no problem, none of our business. Keith, great explanation of the winds and what to expect on the crossing. The music while showing distant shots of the boat were spot on. Beautiful boat and have always loved the wood interior. So warm but awhile back, Keith said he would comment on the manufacturer once back into the states. Waiting for it. Not difficult to project his negative feelings. Renee, you prepare more attractive meals on that boat than most could prepare in a full-blown land-based kitchen. You are simply a mom of the highest order. I have always wondered. When crossing in small boats like yours, do you ever worry about the so-called rogue waves we read about. Have you ever seen anything approaching that? Thank you for this and all the vids. Misty eyed when Keith recited the pledge in front of the flag. God bless America and safe travels home.

This enables you to buy more bananas for a passage. 🍌 🍌 🍌 🍌 🍌

Another stress-reducer: Drills for every contingency (various sails malfunction, man overboard, abandon ship, striking an object/ship, taking on water, rudder/engine failure, etc.).
