MERRY CHRISTMAS, 2008



Today the crew spend a leisurely Christmas Day aboard Windlass. In the photo to the left you can see the Captain's Christmas present to himself - a 12 foot inflatable kayak. It has an internal aluminum frame which makes it paddle like a hard bottomed kayak. He spend the afternoon kayaking around Marsh Harbor while Ginny and Roger sipped wine and emailed their friends and family photos on the new internet service they signed up for!!

Everyone took some time to skype with their family. Ginny and Roger were able to reach there grandkids. In honor of the Rickett's tradition, Ginny made a wonderful lasagna that evening. While it baked, the crew had a bottle of champagne and watched the sun set. The lasagna was stellar - with a little bit of linguica to spice it up. Unfortunately, the great food and plentiful wine too advantage of the crew and they were all in bed by 8pm!

The crew aboard S/V Wind-Lass wish all of our families and friends very Merry Christmas greetings from Marsh Harbour, Abacos, Bahamas. May you all enjoy this wonderful day! We are thinking of you all and wish you could be here with us!
