I wish I could be more like Vlad with his iron stomach.Bettie del Marhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03666822701692228531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5429991721363956274.post-56781117593052185912012-06-25T14:46:23.485-07:002012-06-25T14:46:23.485-07:00Awesome Story, Love the HUGE tires. Ha, "you...Awesome Story, Love the HUGE tires. Ha, "you mean That's the fuel dock?, How?"<br /><br />Awesome dolphins, they somehow make everything better, Tate and I tried to think of something that comes close to them and we can't think of anything, Dolphins are the cute puppies of the sea.<br /><br />Waterspouts are pretty scary things if you are close and can't tell which way they are going. When I was a young girl down on the coastal waters of Louisiana, at a fishing camp WAY out on the water, I saw 8 water spouts at one time. You could only see them when it would lightning and light up the sky. It was wild and i'll never forget it. <br /><br />I also deal with seasickness and hate the way medicine make me feel, although med sickness>seasickness for me anyways. <br />Be Safe!<br />DaniDanihttp://www.sundownersailsagain.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5429991721363956274.post-70685429743270200182012-06-19T09:51:20.465-07:002012-06-19T09:51:20.465-07:00I've been using the patches as well, but while...I've been using the patches as well, but while it keeps me from getting super sick (like I did on the Gulf crossing) I still feel crummy for about a day and a half. After that, though, I'm fine. <br /><br />I'm glad you guys made it through that storm all in one piece. Sounds like a wild ride! That Boss anchor is looking like a pretty good investment.Bettie del Marhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03666822701692228531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5429991721363956274.post-3886000281961048282012-06-19T09:26:18.752-07:002012-06-19T09:26:18.752-07:00What type of meds are you using for sea sickness? ...What type of meds are you using for sea sickness? For a long time nothing worked for me until I tried the scopolamine. Its a little too strong out of the box so we cut the dosage in half. We sailed across mobile bay recently in some very bad weather and rode out a very bumpy storm at anchor and didn't get sick. I'm also the person that used to get car sick reading billboards.Tatehttp://sundownersailsagain.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5429991721363956274.post-71436433791627910172012-06-19T09:11:02.162-07:002012-06-19T09:11:02.162-07:00The whole beam reach thing isn't too shabby!

I hope that doesn't continue, glad to hear it goes away for you. <br />Sounds like a lovely trip, with just enough irritation to make the arrival even better!LittleCunningPlan.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15459050510084587089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5429991721363956274.post-22066533196641768982012-06-18T20:32:19.120-07:002012-06-18T20:32:19.120-07:00I love the video, we got to watch a momma and baby...I love the video, we got to watch a momma and baby playing about 100 ft from us on the beach this weekend :)Princess Aboardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02043124412978504236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5429991721363956274.post-24430647135125839532012-06-18T14:34:55.855-07:002012-06-18T14:34:55.855-07:00So far, we love it.

I've heard from others in the cruising community that you have to watch your stuff, but other than that we've had nothing but good vibes from the people here.
