"The years thunder by..."

"The dreams of youth lie caked in dust on the shelves of patience. Before we know it, the tomb is sealed"                                                                          Sterling Hayden

It has been an eventful year, 2015. This Summer, Moontide taught us much about herself with our little forays away from the dock.  Now we understand and appreciate more of her qualities, and are learning something  of her weaknesses.

​This is the year the skipper turned 60! Now how the hell did that happen?!?!

This Fall, we lost our dear Carmen. She was almost 14 years old. She had a good life. She was a good friend. She was family.
​We miss her.

In October, Gabrielle rescued Sophie, a sweet Tervuren Shepherd who is enough puppy to keep the crew busy trying to keep up with her! 

Our lives are filled with gains and losses, enriched in the end by how well we love and are loved in return.
And since we are in no position to take our boat to the tropics right now,  the Moontide crew opted to join 5 other adventurers on a bareboat charter to St. Vincent and the Grenadines. The eastern Caribbean, for 10 days of awesome sailing, swimming, and soaking in WARM water!

Sailing to Mustique.  Yes, the water really is that blue!

You may now be jealous.
Hugs and wishes of health, hope, and happiness to all!
​May the  New Year be kind!
