Some days are just pure Magic ;)

I know i have wrote many of a posting on the negative things with sailing
but its not all negative and gloom and doom with living in a sailing yacht .
Some Evenings when the wind is just a breeze and cool as we are watching the sun go down
on the horizon , Rob and me will have cheese and crackers and fruit and a small glass of wine to end the day. The nice thing about living on the sea is the constant sea breezes that come across your boat . to me its  a built in air conditioning system from The Good Lord Himself ;)  and although the sun may be beating down on you at times , we still have the coolest place to rest in our bunk in the stern of the ship . The hatch is open and the breezes fill the room , it has invited us many of times to take a extra cat nap , and finding ourselves waking up in the middle of the afternoon lol

I have been waking up at 6 am " yes mom 6 am lol " to do my yoga on the deck of the boat
its so nice right when the sun rises , its still cool and the sea breezes surround you too .
In the distance i hear the Sulfur Crested Cockatoos yakking away in the trees , the sea gulls whining and fighting over the bait fish on the shores , and the welcome of the Barn Swallows that land on the ship , just to aggravate Skipper and get him started  lol

Sometimes when Rob is out exploring the mountains or the trails i will set on one of the side wells of the ship and just sun bake like a lizzard untill i hear the humming of his outboard motor ;)
Its the most wonderful place to Read the Good Book and listen to what the Lord is speaking to my heart today .
when the water is calm we take advantage of it with a little snorkeling  
Its something you have to experience for yourself to appreciate the vast beauty of the sea and the creatures in it .
When i look down from my mask and take slow deep breaths from my snorkel , and let me body just float on the top of the water , i feel like im apart of the sea. The fish swim in schools and somtimes right up to look you in the face to see " what the heck is that in our backyard ?" lol  The coral is so huge and so many different types and colors its just amazing . Rob pointed out a blue star fish ! it was cobalt blue and so bright i have never seen something so beautiful .

Days like these are just pure Magic ;)
and these are the days you enjoy living on a boat !
