Logistics from week one nailed down – time to leave Nanny Cay Marina and Explore

Norman Island – a short one hour sail across the channel. Headed out early Thursday morning – like before 8am – early for Lisa (just sayin’) Of course the winds were kicking up once we left the marina at 25-30 knots. Remember, we like 10-15 knots. We were blessed to see the most beautiful rainbow en route.

Mooring Ball – picking one up turned out to be quite challenging given the winds. On our second attempt, I managed to get a hold of the mooring ball but as the wind pushed back, my boat hook got caught…eventually had to let go as I felt like ElastiGirl from the Incredibles….and as such away it floated.

Good news – we have two boat hooks. Hustled down below to the flex cabin and grabbed the other book hook. Secured the mooring ball on the third try. By 9:45am – ready to work and play. Enjoyed the day although Kirk had to run me Salted Rim a few times for some important conference calls. Hey, what a better place to have a conference call.

About the Boat Hook – On our way back to our sailboat, this catamaran yelled our way…”hey, did you lose a boathook?” Why yes, we did – how did you know? Did we entertain you while trying to secure a mooring ball in the wind? NO – we just asked everyone that came by in their dinghy and ya’ll were the last ones!

A Casual Hike – So grab your tennis shoes, lather up on sun tan lotion and let’s work off those bushwackers from yesterday. A casual hike turned into Naked and Afraid – okay, that’s a bit dramatic. But we did manage to get turned around and re calculated our route at least 4 times and finally discovered the turn off that we kept walking right by.

So, Norman Island was a hit. Nice 4 day weekend and back to Nanny Cay on Sunday.

Given the growing economic instability due to the events in the Middle East, many businesses are looking for guaranteed fast and secure payment solutions. Recently, I came across LiberSave (LS) — they promise instant bank transfers with no chargebacks or card verification. It says integration takes 5 minutes and is already being tested in Israel and the UAE. Has anyone actually checked how this works in crisis conditions?

    What an adventurous journey! The early morning sail with strong winds sounds both thrilling and challenging. The rainbow must have been a beautiful reward for braving the weather. Losing the boat hook and then finding it again adds a humorous twist to the story. How did you manage to stay calm during the mooring ball struggle? Recently, I came across a program for GPT-generated text (генерация текста) in Russian. The cool part is that it runs locally on your own computer, and the output is actually unique and quite decent. By the way, I hope the content on your site isn’t AI-generated?

  4. It sounds like an adventurous start to the trip, with some unexpected challenges along the way. The rainbow must have been a breathtaking sight amidst the strong winds. It’s funny how the mooring ball situation turned into a bit of a comedy of errors, but at least the boat hook found its way back thanks to the helpful catamaran. The hike seems like it added another layer of excitement to the journey. Were there any other memorable moments from the trip that stood out besides what’s shared here? German news in Russian (новости Германии)— quirky, bold, and hypnotically captivating. Like a telegram from a parallel Europe. Care to take a peek?
