Random thoughts… Dec. 3, 2013

Second post of the day!

Have you noticed that there are two different spellings of Tyrrel Bay in use?   Guide author Chris Doyle spells it as above.  Some of my navigation charts render it “Tyrell Bay”.   Sometimes I use one, and sometimes I use the other.  But as Ralph Waldo Emerson famously said,  “A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds…”

We arose at 5:30 am this morning, and left the anchorage in Bequia by 6:00 am.  At 8 am Barb brought up to the pilothouse a marvelous breakfast:  scrambled eggs studded with bits of parsley and doused with melted cheese.   Also on the plate:  a dollop of beans, British breakfast style.   To drink, a large smoothie:  a blend of pineapple, mango and banana chunks, yogurt, orange juice, powdered protein, and ground flax seed.  Isn’t life grand?

The seas were so gentle as we made our way to Rodney Bay, St. Lucia, that we watched a movie on Barb’s computer while underway.   And I took just one picture: a view of the Soufriere volcano on the north end of St. Vincent.

Hope your day was as good as ours!
