We ate ice cream three times in one day last week. Yes, three. The new O.A.R. cd rocks! And in the past week alone, we’ve sailed more than half as many miles as it took us to sail during our 3 months in the Bahamas.
That about sums up life lately. ;))
I can’t even believe I’m admitting that the ice cream thing happened.
Does it help that we hadn’t seen or eaten ice cream in MONTHS and just so happened to stumble upon two adorable ice cream parlors in Grace Bay, Providenciales…and then it just so happened that Bob (the owner of South Side Marina where we were docked) gave out free ice cream that same night. And who passes up free ice cream? Just sayin.
Moving right along…
Okay, so you should seriously run and buy the new O.A.R. cd (The Rockville LP) right now. Might as well grab Miranda Lambert’s new one too. Yeah, I know…two totally different genres, but I’m a little obsessed with both records at the moment. Quite possibly from listening to both on repeat during our past few overnight passages.
I’m pretty sure they wrote the whole O.A.R. record for Jer and I. Lol. It’s like our soundtrack to life and super oceany/islandy/sailing centric. Weird. We downloaded the whole record on iTunes before our first >>overnight passage<< and I’m pretty sure we’ve listened to it in its entirety about 45,000 times since. ;))
So, turns out…we’re kinda sorta becoming real sailors. Like the ones who use phrases such as “pull in the main sheet,” “fall off the wind,” “time to tack” etc. on a regular basis. And actually know what the heck those sayings mean. Who woulda thunk it? ;))
I can’t believe that in the past week alone, we’ve sailed half as many miles as we did the entire three months we were in the Bahamas. Whoa! We’re becoming legit!
And that’s all I got for now. We’re loving life in the Dominican Republic and I can’t wait to post some photos from our first few days here. It’s been unreal.
Happy Tuesday!
PS – It is Tuesday, right? :)))
