Thank you Big Sky for the most incredible adventures and a bucket full of memories to last the rest of our lives. She's now safely stored on land in the Lagos, Portugal yard.
We moved into our long-awaited bungalow in Carvoeiro, Portugal! * Big Sky safely escorted us through the Mediterranean, Baltic, and Black Sea, and up and down the Atlantic Ocean as we explored more than five dozen countries so we could have a peek into the beauty of the world and her people. In a word, it’s been magical. Waking in the morning at anchor surrounded by calm blue waters is my version of heaven. I’ll be homesick for the hundreds of chattering, leaping dolphins who greeted us over the years, the occasional whale, and dozens of flying fish. I’ll miss the ease of waking in one country, and having dinner in another. Changing languages with our greetings like changing socks. We will miss the sailing community, perhaps the most friendly community out there. Con’s realized dream, “To Sail in Retirement” began for us in 2007 and has been quite possibly his greatest dream for our retirement. A message for those with a similar dream, “Don’t put it off for tomorrow, as there are no guarantees in life. Do it now while you have your health and youth.” -- My thought for the day. * Visit Portugal 2021.
