My Rainbow

Took a quiz, and here is what it came up with. Don't know if I believe it, but it's kinda cool....

Your rainbow is intensely shaded violet, green, and white.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What is says about you: You are a creative person. You appreciate quiet moments. People depend on you to make them feel secure. Those around you admire your fresh outlook and vitality.

Christmas (and New Year's) on Logos

Another boat trip, more projects completed, and a little sailing thrown in for fun. We spent Christmas through after New Year's Day at the marina on Logos, our Catalina 30, and experienced a little of everything, weather-wise. From 70s to 20s, from dead calm to 35+ knot gusts, from rain to frost to bright blue skies. No snow, however! It was a relatively quiet, peaceful time, interrupted occasionally by rapid-fire gunshots from duck hunters in the woods near our marina, the barking of nearby dogs, or the revving of an engine as a motorboat passed near our slip. We had a few maintenance mishaps, some far too embarrassing to relate here, and repeat trips to town to purchase various tools, but overall, we enjoyed our time aboard, away from the hustle and bustle of our normal lives. Here are some photos from our time aboard:

Christmas dinner we made and brought from home - ho ho ho! (New red dinnerware is a Christmas gift from Mom -- very nice!)

Barry and sleepy Paisley

Emily and Paisley Getting ready to come across to the finger dock We had our waterline and prop scraped by a diver; that's his little boat behind Logos

Ralph the diver taking off, along with a sailboat from the small dock at our marina Paisley hanging out Barry getting some anchoring tips from liveaboard cruiser John, who joined us for a beer Filling the water tanks Sailing on a gorgeous December day! Cap'n Bear enjoying the sail First-mate Paisley, on the other hand, fell down in her line-handling duties... First time our knotmeter has worked in over a year, thanks to Ralph cleaning the paddlewheel. Winds were perfect this day for us to make over six knots for most of the sail, must have been the newly slick hull! Newly installed cockpit speaker for VHF After a tough day of sailing, more naps for the crew A cooler day but still pretty The water was very low for a couple of days due to south winds, which had Logos sitting 28" below the finger dock -- a tough step up for me! I learned a new skill -- whipping lines Sunset over Broad Creek
