I have 7 working days left and this has been the week that I have had to tell my patients that I am leaving on a trip that will last a year, maybe longer and I will no longer be THEIR nurse. It’s been a sad week for me and I’ve shed a few tears […]
It’s interesting how quickly life can change on the boat, all dependent on the weather. . Tuesday evening I was working on sewing pillowcases from my left over Bahamian fabric. See below. About 11pm, Just after cleaning up and getting into the car to drive down to the dock, a BIG wind came and 1+ft […]
The weather the past several days has been cool and either raining or with some kind of moisture in the air. But this evening, the sun came out with crystal clear blue skies, and we had a beautiful sunset with the reds lighting up clouds building over the lake and south of us. The first […]

For anyone that hasn’t been in Pipe Creek, Bahamas, Joe (the Mayor) and Carol on S/V Just Ducky have been there for several years. While there in 2011, I saw Joe put a white pad hanging from the toe rail out to protect his refrigerator from the heat of the sun on the topsides. I […]
