February 12, 2006

The difference between an ORDEAL and an ADVENTURE is ATTITUDE.
That is according to Bob Bitchin (his real name), the publisher of **Lattitudes and Attitudes** magazine.
Jill and I agree with him.
A cold-front came through last night and stirred up the wind and sea.
We literally battened-down the hatches and are riding it out as I type this.
Some other boats thought the front to be too much of an ordeal and they scurried for crowded little coves in which to hide.
We stayed put just off of Key Largo.
There is not a lot of protection from the wind and waves but we know Shibumi is anchored well.
So our attitude is "why move?", we like it here.

Horror, I guess I don't want to enrol Shibumi then!

Most of life is just that... perspective and attitude!

Looks nice and cozy in the cabin. And a fantastic storm photo. Those who fled missed all the fun. :)

Not sure I'd have the stomach for this either :>)

Looks quite wavy there.
I would put my camera in plastic bag!
Hope it's not going to be too bad.

My face is green just looking at it, but I love the colors.

Yikes! Looks a little too UP and DOWN and UP and DOWN for me... great shot.

nicely composed, I feel like I am there ooooooh, excuse me

I like the your attitude. And your shot shows that it is a bit blustery there!

Great sho Dave, seamanship required in that weather.
