Flight control: Pam @ 97, Ben @ 111.
Not that any of you care. He is beating my butt.
Today light winds. God is in control of the day and wind. So we stayed here one more day. The winds are picking up and tomorrow should be a trial in reefing. Tonigt we shall have the anchor watch on as it is 15 knot winds right now.
We went to the navy academy and took the tour. Amazing. Wow. Just like this whole trip has been a learning curve a huge learning curve of when the student is ready the teacher appears. Like when I was home I wanted to learn the baramoter but did not cuz it was book stuff now I am an eagar student to learn about diesel engines, batteries, electronic, electricity, gps, ( I still have more to do with the gps. Tomorrow I will read the manual to learn how to set way points) anchor watching, solar power, Samson post hitching know, snubber line know, cap horn auto pilot, four stroke motors ( wow I am amazing myself already with all the learning going on here)! But none of this I learned before even though I have big thick books I am a visual and hands on learner. So my point is that I'm getting to,... Is we went to the navy academy. We see all the stuff they do. I had no idea. Actually part of me thinks the navy would be like summer camp or teen missions but for four years. Ok ok my point is I send a thank you out to all those military people (ie my sister and her hubby Ed and kimmer) and all the many others. Thanks for doing all of that. I don't understand it but I recognize it. Student I am. Ready to listen to the teachers in my life. Sometimes it takes us a while to get there. I'm glad I have the personality and love to want to learn and be taught by all those around me. And a big thanks to my staff back home that teach me many things. They are all very smart and I know it and recognize their work and love for the work we do at ASLIS!!! I hope I say it enough to you all! Thanks from my heart for all you do and who you are. Oh and my many friends that teach me countless lessons about life, love and God. Amen sista's and bros! Sleep well. You are all blessed in my heart. And have I kept you here long enough. And thanks to the homeless and mentally challenged for from them I hear their hearts and know they too can and do teach me many of the lessons of contenment and non judgementalness. Ok ok I hope I did not forget anyone. And my dad who may not have known while I was growing up but he played a huge role in the forming of my adventureous mind and kind heart. And mom for having fun and laughing at anything and everything. Now have I left anyone out? Yes all the animals in my life!! Muss you kiko and Xander!
Blessings over and out Pam
oh I didn't forget Deanna n Jase who have taught me more than I ever imagined! Deep in my heart they are happily loved. Ok and all the kids Annie Paul and neighbor boys and their friends.
Oh and Ben won the backgammon series. Now I can go to bed.
