AH! Winter! Snow! Cold!

SHIP'S LOG:

Truth be told, I didn't get to the boat last weekend. Actually, couldn't is more like it. The snow was piled up around the access dock and the gate and there was just no way to get there. Even drinving my car too close would have been dangerous as it might have gotten stuck. My little P.O.S. is truly awful in any type of weather other than sunshine and the thought of getting trapped there with another snow storm on the way was not something wonderful to contemplate. Perhaps this week will be different.

The "sadists" who edit sailing magazines, keep producing copies during the winter that highlight Caribbean get aways, South Seas vacations and the like. They fill their magazines with adds promoting such and make it sound so easy and affordable. Actually, I suppose it is if you have the money and the time. Time I got, money is a whole nuther matter.

I got a call from my realtor. She has been getting emails from some guy who expressed interest in the condo back in the fall. He seems interested again and wants to spend a week at the condo. He wants me to rent it to him and if he decides to buy, to knock the rental paid off the purchase price. Unfortunately, the rentals are handled by the Spa exclusively but I told her to tell him we would knock off a $100/day if he buys. So we will wait and see what happens. Truth be told, I ain't expecting anything to happen. If it does I get excited and if not, well it will be what I expected.

I got hit with a "bug" as well this weekend. It wasn't the "flu" but something equally nasty. Not much of a fever but as real crampy gastro-intestinal aspect along with sinus clogging that has my ears blocked. It was like living underwater. I couldn't even walk straight it had such an effect on my inner ear and balance. The gastro-part went after 24hours, but the blocked ears remain. I hate winter!
