Weren't we supposed to be in the BVI's by now?

Woodrow T. Wilson

All things come to him who waits - provided he knows what he is waiting for

     Hopefully, somebody gave Mr. Wilson a briefcase full of money or at least, I don't know, a M & M blizzard from Dairy Queen or something cause man, the 28th Prez was bang on.  If you read Nate's latest post, you'll know that we have been stuck in Marsh Harbour which is embarrassingly a million miles away from where we were sure we'd be by now.  At first we were both really bitter and disappointed about Jackie's injury; but after really thinking about what we wanted from this sailing trip, we discovered that we have everything that we want right here in Marsh.  We decided that we're going to switch our attitudes around and try to make the best of our Marsh Harbour hold-up.

     At the end of each day, we force ourselves to come up with some of the most crazy and fun day adventures that we can think of and then we go out the following morning and do them!  It's been pretty funny coming up with lavish tropical fantasy situations and then trying to live them out.  For example, two days ago we rode 'shrimp' to a secluded white sand beach and I swam in the clear turquoise waters while Nate tried his hand at spear fishing in an attempt to catch us dinner.  Did he catch anything?  No.  Did my ears get sunburned?  Yes...pretty badly actually; but, it was still great.  Yesterday, we rode our bikes around the island and found an off-shore reef where we snorkeled the better part of the afternoon away.  We finished the day off with two Corona Lites while the sun went down, and then we made mad, crazy love in the sand.  It was incredible!  Alright, I'm just kidding about that one part Grandma, we would never, EVER drink alcohol on a beach...ever.  

But really, in all truthfulness, these little escapes are making our delay seem like we have chosen to be here.  I guess like good-ole Woody said; 'provided he knows what he is waiting for'.  Well we did, and we do, and we're going out and getting it.  Take that buddy.

p.s  Being a true, full-fledged Canadian, (I love this excuse), I totally had to look up whether Wilson was the 27th or the 28th U.S President.

p.p.s and at first I had to reaffirm to myself that Woodrow T. Wilson actually was a former president.
