Dramamine Saved my life

Well, we returned safely from 4 days of sailing in the San Juan's. Thankfully, no whales were spotted on this trip. We did see some cute harbor seals, Bald Eagles, ducks and seagulls. Today on the ferry to Anacortes Jeremiah spotted a porpoise which was really cute!

I took two Dramamine each morning, followed by an afternoon nap and I did GREAT, I was washing dishes and making lunch down in salon while Mike & Grace were sailing at a 20% heel, AWESOME.

It was a VERY beautiful trip, and very relaxing. But I realized that relaxing and restful are two different things. Sleeping in a narrowing bed with no head room can have its challenges. I was amazed today that I couldn't feel bruises on my skull, but there are plenty of bruises throughout my body from the trip. I also took a few naps on this trip which is something I don't usually do. It was the afternoon Dramamine nap. I did finally finish my book, Beach Music which dad gave me for Christmas this year. It was REALLY great, and I highly recommend it. I think my next book will be the new David Sedaris book. He makes me laugh and I read a great review of it in Entertainment Weekly while sailing. Here's some pictures from the trip if you'd like to check it out.

I'll definitely get on a sail boat again, probably in the near future, but my next vacation will include a comfy hotel room with PLENTY of space above the bed so I don't have to roll over in fear of bonking something!
