Tuesday Tell-Tales.

Lately, I’ve been having one helluva love-hate relationship with my sunglasses. Mostly hate. Just ask Jereme. He’s had to listen to me bitch about my shades for the past week or two.

^^these SUPER light weight polarized Ray Bans used to be my favorite. nowadays they barely stay on my face they are so bent out of shape.^^

I am really regretting the fact that I only have two pair of prescription sunglasses on board and that they are getting more and more worn out from non-stop, around-the-clock use. They’ve basically melded into shapes that no longer even fit my face or even allow for tightening. It’s so bizarre.

I also hate that I forgot my old pair of Rx shades back home. Or misplaced them on the boat because they are definitely no where to be found. And let’s face it, the boat is only so big.

Oh and I also hate that I dropped my only non-Rx pair that my friend Jessica over at MJ Sailing gave me. :((( Sorry Jess! I was loving that pair, but they flew off on a wild dinghy ride back in Long Island, Bahamas in the middle of a super deep and super choppy anchorage.

I guess it’s more like a hate-hate relationship. Ugh.

I think it’s about time I purchased a few cheap pairs so I can stop complaining already. ;))

On a more positive note, Jer and I hiked the 27 Waterfalls of Rio Damajagua yesterday. And holy crap, talk about AMAZING!!! I am feverishly culling through a few hours of GoPro video and piecing together somethin-somethin for the blog. That experience was definitely one for the record books! …Even with the massive purple bruise now occupying the entire back of my left thigh. A souvenir from my first ever waterfall jump, I suppose. ;))

And side note, we haven’t forgotten about our plans for Puerto Rico. We’re still looking for a good weather window to make the jump, but in the meantime, we are having such a great time here in the DR there’s really no rush.

Happy Tuesday! xo.
