On Monday, Valentine's Day, we had a dinner event aboard Astarte. It was a Valentine's Day Thanksgiving feast. We had reunited with friends Walt and Honoree from Will O' the Wisp and Bob and Sandy from Sapphire in the East Lemmons of Kuna Yala. A turkey made it Thanksgiving like, along with yummy sides like mashed potatoes and cranberry sauce. We had a good time ending with homemade chocolate cake. It was great to reconnect with these friends who just got back to the San Blas.
Yesterday (2/16), Barbara brought in a new year. Thanks to the morning radio net, she got greetings from many boaters – with wonderful wishes. The e-mail download (again thanks to the SSB radio) brought in more greetings. She called her mom so she'd get the traditional birthday song from her mom (no family birthday is complete without that!)). When she came out of the cabin, she got a very festive and wacky song AND dance from the neighboring boat and good friends Walt and Honoree on "Will O' the Wisp". And, Michael spoiled her all day. A wonderful early afternoon snorkel at a magnificent reef was also part of the day's festivities (and Michael even scored a fish). The "Wisps" were going to leave that morning for another port, but instead decided to have us over for a fabulous dinner and decorated brownies and a beautiful carved Alaskan necklace. A round of dominoes followed where Barbara had the worst score. It was a great way to celebrate another year starting.
Holidays and birthdays in exotic locations, aboard Astarte, are always unique and special and hold a special place in the memory book.
