We're still in the Bahamas, where there's nary a snowflake to be seen! Right
now, we're in Georgetown, in the Exumas, and the wind is blowing - but no
cattle lowing!
Tonight, Lydia saig in a celebration on the beach on Christmas Eve. We've
been thinking of how odd it is to hear the traditional songs:
Dashing through the surf, in an open dinghy ride,
o'er the waves we go, from the spray we hide!
Our outboard sings its song, keeping spirits bright,
oh what fun it is to sing our boating song tonight!
OHHH, see the spray, crashing waves, water all around,
oh what fun it is to fly across the open sou-ound,
See the spray, crashing waves, water all around,
oh what fun it is to fly across the open sou-ound!
:{))
Because of the nature of how things are here, we can't just jump in the car
to go to a rehearsal or to church. Everything involves a ride in the dinghy
if we want to go somewhere!
Actually, while there ARE the traditional Christmas songs playing on the
speakers from the Conch Salad stand on the beach, we sang the
traditional Christmas carols for our service. Among all the traditional
carols, we did "We three kings" with three guys singing harmony on the
first and last verse. Each of us did one of the gifts verses as a solo.
Mine was Myrrh, as the dark bass. Reports are that it went well...
Hope all here have a blessed Christmas, or had a Happy Hannukah or Kwanza,
and have a happy New Year.

"Believe me, my young friend, there is *nothing*-absolutely nothing-half so
much worth doing as simply messing, messing-about-in-boats; messing about in
boats-or *with* boats.
In or out of 'em, it doesn't matter. Nothing seems really to matter, that's
the charm of it.
Whether you get away, or whether you don't; whether you arrive at your
destination or whether you reach somewhere else, or whether you never get
anywhere at all, you're always busy, and you never do anything in
particular; and when you've done it there's always something else to do, and
you can do it if you like, but you'd much better not."
