Did I mention that several times during the trip, when we were sailing to remote islands, you could look in all directions and see no land, not even a hint. That was a new experience for me. It sort of bonded us somehow, knowing that we had to depend on each other with no one else around. It was a unique experience.

I got so many compliments from my husband about how good of "seaman" I was (meaning that I could coil up some ropes). Also, I winched him up to the top of the mast (so he could do a repair)and that made him realize just how handy a wife could be on a boat. We both miss having someone to rely on for practical help.
