I just have to tell you guys the fantastic thing we did this weekend............We went sailing........
I have never been before, sure Ive been in powerboats and the like but not actual sailing..........I was conned into going to start with..... you know........."oh come on mum, its a historical tall ship, part of history......." when in actual fact it was a 100ft sailing vessell. (the south passage). It was basically a school excursion and we went out into Hervey Bay for about 6 hours..I thought I would be ill or go into "panic" mode. But, I didnt.... It was beautiful. Now, all you people who have sailed before know what I am talking about and probably think i am mad,,,,,,,,,,, picture this, we are on the calm(thankfully) bay, with about 35 people, working this vessel, over half of them are children (under 12) and it was a totally STRESS FREE day, it was peaceful, you can actually hear the water when you are sailing. Its hard to describe, but when you are in a motor powered boat, you hear the roar of the engine, but this was ......... gorgeous. I know, I am raving a bit, but I want to do it again and again........ Did I mention that when we achored off a small sandbar (pelican bank) most of the kids went overboard (with the skippers permission) (and some of the adults).
well, I just had to tell you all. I will try to load some photos for you.....

Sailboating is an awesome experience. A buddy of mine lived for some years aboard a 32 footer, used to take it out every so often. Nothing more relaxing, in my experience.

Until you get a good chop in the water. Then it can be quite exhilerating (sp?). Unlike a rollercoaster that stops after a few minutes, the rocking and rolling keeps on for hours. "Sealegs" takes on new meaning, when you learn to walk on the sides of walls because the boat lists with the roll of the waves.

Ah, I miss those times...

[greymare]

I feel like I want to experience that...... I dont know why its taken me so long to finally do it........... (oh yeah, midlife crisis, LOL)

I had to drive up for a funeral. A tragedy but a really incredible experience. The entire town assisted in the process, the school principle and superintendent and students took over memorial/celebration organization. My cousin and her children died in a house fire, it was awful, but it was wonderful to see what a tight knit community does in these cases. My aunt and uncle were told to just tell them what they wanted and everything would be handled for them...and it was, down to the last detail. 900 seats in the gym, 11 speakers for those that passed, 4 preachers, 150 overflow in the auditorium watching on video. The music, the rememberance, the effort all amazing, all just right. All the costs, funeral arrangements, the burial plots, the headstones all covered by local companies. Incredible what came together in a few short days. The family got together the rest of the evening and looked thru pictures and talked.

Sunday after church we did the memorial day thing with the kids and took them around to various cemetaries and cleaned lichen off headstones of their great greats...that they'd never met. So one day they met more second cousins and once removed and great aunts and uncles than you can shake a stick at and then the next they tied it together with those that had passed.

Then we gathered together again to bbq and picnic and play kickball...and yesterday drive the 300 miles back home. As we do at all these events, we all say we ought to get the family together at better times, a small percentage will show up for reunions, a few more for weddings, but we all show up for funerals....why is that?
