    Aaaaah. . . . . what an informative and enjoyable post. I’m one of those who kept tugging on your shirt sleeve about the “real story” of just how you manage the partnership with so much else going on. Thank you for letting us know! I can easily imagine all of your strategies, especially the laughter part — so easy with you two. Whatever it takes, I hope the tummy subsides and you are back to your sparking self pronto. Looking forward to whatever you have in store for us! Love, love!

    Hio Doris and Louis,

    What a story!
    And what a relief that you are feeling better now Doris.
    Your hillside retreat looks absolutely fabulous.

    Happy and safe travels…

    Doris, I’m worried about you! I hope you can figure out what’s causing the nausea soon. That is a horrible way to travel. As for the time outs and meeting and spending time with others, you have hit the nail on the head. Living for months on end on a 34’ x 10’ sailboat with a spouse tries ones patience at times, for sure. It’s partly for that reason that we’re spending at least a month on a mooring ball in Hope Town, where there are things to do on shore and people to get to know. Safe and healthy travels to you!!

      I think a 34×10 sailboat would be the end of me!

    Louis and Doris … I LOVE reading your posts… I can almost imagine/feel being there with you guys. Will take the advice on “time-outs” as my fiance and I work together at Charter Communications … so we do see each other ALL the time… so far so good, but I do understand the struggle 🙂

    Safe travels !

      Ouch … sometimes not so easy but patience and kindness help. As the African Masai say :: poly poly …. meaning : slow ..slow ..going

        That would be “pole, pole” but we get the idea!

    Tell me true: have you hired a very talented oil painter who specializes in bananas and sunsets? Has Louis taken up the brush?
    My vote goes wildly yes yes yes to Take Me Inside your trip.
    A very satisfying and fascinating post. But what else is new?

      LOL! Louis says thank you for the compliment, but it helps a lot to have drop-dead gorgeous nature outside your door. Of course, never an hour without a challenge. It has been now been raining llamas and alpacas for about three hours, and I have a 4WD taxi picking me up at 9:30 to go to town. Louis, of course, is not fretting. I am wondering how anything but a llama or alpaca gets off this precipice in the mud. Stay tuned and thanks for the vote for TMI.
