Just wanted to wish all you sailors a very merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Hopefully Phil and I will be taking the Candida out soon as I get back from a cruise to the Bahamas, Belize, Guatamala and several places. Going with a Mardi Gras group. I know it will be a blast. Can't wait to see Belize and tour the city, and can't wait to get back and take our boat out. We bought it in New Jersey two years ago and sailed it back to New Orleans. That was fun, but let's say we really got to know each other as we had only been dating about seven months. Saw so many memorable places along the way and riding the waves and going off shore for the first time was really frightening for me but I soon learned to trust niceneasy as an A # 1 sailor. He can deal with any situation and I mean that literally. I have actually learned to navigate some, but not an expert, just give Phil a little break when he needs one. He likes to use the GPS but right now I prefer the compass. Seems to give me a little more confidence. I actually enjoyed going off shore once I got use to it. Really enjoyed watching the dolphins play. Still haven't seen any glowing phosphorous at night and am waiting to see that; well again Happy Holidays All!
