Tuesday
P1000216 0656 – “Carpe Diem and stop worrying, dwelling, projecting. Live right now, live for today, relax and rock and roll. Sticking to ones guns, being, listening, not judging and compassion/helping out others, making others feel good whilst ensuring you are happy with it all. Comfort, confidence and create.” A brief glimpse into my inner world as islandP1000199 time and its lifestyle sets in and the continual quest for balance in life continues. The last two days with Bryn and Ethan aboard have been incredibly relaxing after incredibly high energy go go go time of the past 2 weeks. Team B & E have settled right into our routines…cooking us meals (Bryn baked her first loaf of bread!)…closing hatches and turning the anchor light on without being asked to…. even raising and P1000235 lowering the anchor all on their own. What fun we have had and as Bryn’s goal of snorkel till one drops continues to lead us to the best underwater sites to date (Dead Chest & Trunk Bay) I feel truly blessed to have such wonderful family and close friends around (brother Scot arrives this afternoon bringing all the Herrigel siblingsP1000243 together under one deck for the next two night, watch out :) ) From Peter to Norman and now at Road Town….. where do we go from here? A weather forecast predicting 15 foot swells by tomorrow and the hopes to make it to Virgin Gorda for the first time… Keep Learning, Keep Listening, Keep Loving… A sincere thank you with love to everyone who might find their eyes reading this adventure.

Finally some new island reports (Norman, Peter, Jost), is that connect 4!!! and newest photo album of Cruise #3

    ONE MORE COMMENT!!
    Just saw the photos - they are wonderful!! I see Scot’s flight arrived early -
    Keira was dropped off this am, Bruce is behaving beautifully so far….and Milton is on prednisone (keep your fingers crossed, say a prayer or whatever for him… he is down to only 5lbs!) and Mags and Bandit have been gracious hosts - Bandit and Bruce played ball together at the coast…Bruce never got the ball, but so what!
    Love you guys - be good!- just had to add that, it’s the “MOM” thing…
    XOXO Jillian/MOM
