The Pearl (Jennifer)
Over the last few weeks I have realized how many songs have a reference to sailing. There are the obvious Beach Boys songs (Kokomo, Sloop John B) and Jimmy Buffet (Changes in Latitudes, Margaritaville and Mother Ocean) and Joe Cocker (Sail Away). Oh, and Lyle Lovette (If I had a boat), Loggins and Messina (Vahevala) and Peter Frampton (Sail Away). And one of my personal favorites, David Gray (Sail Away). The list goes on and on. I am enjoying Sirius, a comfort addition to Kluane this year.
Today we left the marina are heading to Melbourne, Florida for a GAM. A GAM is a social meeting of seafarers and whalers according to Webster. Arg, Matie -- will there be pirates? Ours will include 3 days of seminars on marine topics and a trade show. I am excited to learn more about sailing and meet new friends!
We are at anchor, in an undisclosed location off the ICW, enjoying the free internet, full tummy from an awesome dinner and the sounds of being on the water. Insert your song here.
More later,
Jennifer
