Peter and Jody

Ideally, we would love to be in an anchorage that has good protection from waves and open ocean swell, water clean enough to swim in, and easy access to shore, but that really doesn’t exist on St Thomas. Plus, Brig is at the point where he really needs to run off some energy every day and meet some other kids his age, so dock life is the next best thing. Some days I can’t stop thinking about how much I loved our mooring in Sopers Hole on Tortola, but then I remind myself that it’s not even close to being how it was before. I think the part I like the most about our new home is that we don’t get ferry wakes anymore! !

The One-Size style Cover runs tight for my guy around his legs just like Buttons, but now Best Bottom has a BIGGER one-size-fits-most style available which fits a bigger weight range 10-45lb. Covers use less water to wash too so while I absolutely love our Charlie Banana diapers, I save them as my backups for when it’s super rainy for days on end and I run out of our regular Covers and inserts. The Flip cover is a true waterproof Cover with a wipeable PUL inside that allows me to reuse the Cover if its not totally soaked or contaminated with poop. The rise snaps are way too close to the waist snaps and it makes it a little tricky to snap sometimes.

We finally got back to our boat about a month ago after spending some more time in the states for my grandmother’s memorial and to allow us to be out of the Caribbean during Hurricane Season. Peter will go back to work full time for Paradise Yacht Management in St Thomas managing the maintenance on their fleet of charter catamarans. There are SO many sewing projects on my list and I have tons of blog content I want to finally get posted. so I hope I can finally get a solid chunk of time to myself during the day.

It’s been two weeks since she’s been gone. It doesn’t feel real and it’s taken me this long to find any words at all. She never called me because she said she didn’t want to bother us if I was trying to get Brig to sleep. I know she was proud of me though, for going out into the world and not being afraid of taking chances and living a life of adventure.
