As my last post made pretty clear, I’m dealing with some
stress right now. Nothing too crushing,
but stress nonetheless. Fortunately,
last week was a well-timed and much-needed vacation week for the Evolving family. The 4 of us, along with my in-laws, piled
onto a 46-foot sailboat in St. Thomas for a week of sailing in the Virgin
Islands. My father-in-law is a retired
Coast Guard captain who has probably forgotten more about sailing than most
people will ever know, so he provided the brains, I provided the muscle, and we
all tackled the high seas. Admittedly
the quarters were a bit tight, and there may have been an occasional bout of
tension, but overall it was an amazing experience. The best part – no laptop, no iPhone, no
email …. No worries.
The weather and water were beautiful, and we spent countless
hours snorkeling in a variety of locations.
We bought a waterproof point-and-click digital camera before we went
since we didn’t trust any of the cameras in the house to actually work and hold
up to the conditions, so rather than bore you with words I’ll share some of
what we saw and did:
