Huge NEWS

ALOHA    FRIENDS !

When you live on a boat, as we do, 

THIS is your view!

There is little to see out your porthole,

 maybe one palm tree

 that moves out of sight

with the movements of the boat

at the end of it's ropes.

Yes, this has been home for 20 years,

as I posted about recently

Here.

We don't HAVE a view,

we ARE the view!

But all that is about to change

BIG TIME

Below
you can see
my 
N E W
V I E W!

I'm beside myself.
Bathroom, Kitchen,
S P A C E. . . 


Housing is expensive on islands,
and we looked at many
depressing places-

But finally found a situation
a couple of blocks from
the harbor.
My days can still begin
with a walk on Waikiki Beach.

“ I have heard the mermaids singing, 

each to each. ”
 

 T. S. Eliot
 







So I'll still see the familiar neighbors:

“ Why do we love the sea?

It is because it has some potent power

to make us think things we like to think. ”
 

Robert Henri

Just not LIVE with them.

I just hope this sailor can adjust.
But I KNOW
that I
WILL!




So please excuse my absence
if I'm not around your blogs
as much as I'd like.


Now you know.
But please don't tell Kitty yet.


I'm gonna lay down now.


My sea legs are confused,
and my head
is SPINNING!


But no more emergencies in the night
like THIS one,
that caused my husband 
to miss my nieces wedding.


Or THIS one
that almost sank us!


THIS scary one,


or the TWO Tsunami alerts
HERE & HERE.


Guess I'm just getting soft.


Hooray!
