The Land of 365 Beaches

We sailed through the Caribbean for the last few days and made it to Antigua yesterday morning. Good news, there is no shortage of beautiful beaches and big houses but the needy patients are limited. I am embracing the experience (embrace is my new favorite word for this trip) and I have made myself comfortable on the deck of the boat with my book and my music, I take a break to exercise and I have been teaching yoga to keep it interesting.
The trip here was wonderful. There is something really special about being far out to see with nothing in sight, the stars are amazing, the breeze is amazing and you are all alone. we had a picnic on the flight deck with live music and games, a great way to make a travel day fun. We also had a resupply during the trip to Antigua. A boat sailed down from Virginia with food and gas for us, they pull up next to us while we are both moving about 12 naughts and we pulled the fuel line across to collect fuel for 4 hours while the Helicopter picked up pallets of food and dropped them off on our ship. I got to watch the event from the Helicopter tower, A great perspective.
I am finally heading to shore tomorrow for a community relations event (we are probably picking up trash) it will be great to be on land.
Be well...Happy May
