I am glad Christmas is over. It always makes me feel incomplete of some sorts. Luckily my family started spending it in the mountains a couple of years ago and I have loved that from the start. Right now I miss my parents, sisters, nieces & nephews and okay, also my brothers in law more than I dare to admit.
So eventhough I spent christmas this year with my lovely ‘travel’ family I had trouble enjoying it to the fullest. Not only for those “Christmas Blues” I like to call them but also because I am in the midsts of untangling myself from some of the craziest and fun days of my life. But goodbye doesn’t necessarily mean forever..
Now I am on my way to St. Martin where I hope to do some racing during the regatta season. It is strange, it took me 3 days to finally book my ticket to St. Martin because every time I wanted to pay the internet signal got weak and I was thrown out.
In the end I went to the Club Med reception in St. Anne and they allowed me to use their guests computer by behaving like I belonged. Again the computer failed on me 3 times! Slowly I started to wonder if there is some alternative power keeping me from going..
This morning my travel family wanted to drop me off at the docks (from our mouring line) and half way down the engine of the dinghy quit. If not for some very nice people we made it in time to my taxi ride who was already waiting.
What will be next? 🙂
I hope a lot of sailing, sailing and more sailing. Maybe as an asset to an team, maybe as crew on a luxury yacht, maybe doing a delivery or maybe something entirely different. Last week I kept my options open and I liked that very much. I like the feeling to be flexible and go with the flow. I have already experienced that the most spontaneous and crazy actions come from that!
Luckily my Christmas Blues have gone. Mostly because down here they only celebrate Christmas eve and 1 Christmas day. I can definately get used to that.
So St. Martin, here I come!
