Sounds like a beautiful life you have. As far as water goes, we have lived so close by water, -- you know, like across the street from the beach, or a water view, etc. DH's family on one side thru the centuries have owned their own ships and were, of course, the sea captains on them, and a couple of them were lost at sea -- I have a list of all the ships that they owned over the years.
When I saw the movie "Perfect Storm" it really brought a lot of this home to me -- their life at sea and how critical. One or two of the captains did a lot of cooking and entertaining and even had a restaurant in the late 1800's nearby the home.

I know we all wish we could look better -- tee hee.

And thanks for the extra paragraphs of your life on the water! It's fun to read. Dee Dee
