Merry Christmas to everyone and
all the best for the Year 2011.
Today is Boxing Day and with that Christmas is nearly coming to an end. We went away from Nanny Cay to spend Christmas at Sopers Hole. The mooring fee here is more reasonable then in Nanny Cay and we need to wait here until our part for our anchor winch arrives. Again we cannot keep going with our planned route as we have to wait for another part. There seems to be always something arriving or something to wait for. However we are using time wisely and enjoying our time here in the BVI's.
Since we had sorted out that there is no Santa Claus, it made life a bit easier in regards of Christmas on the boat. Due to certain circumstances Julia and Carlos had gotten a Nintendo DS a couple of weeks before Christmas. We told them that this would be their Christmas present this year. At that moment they agreed to anything and were really happy about their new toy. Coming closer to Christmas they got a bit upset that there would be no more presents and my heart starting aching, so we bought them a Booggie Boa
rd each and a DVD wrapped them up and had a bit of a Christmas lunch and then opened 
the presents. They were both happy as Larry and over the moon with their Boards and the movies. We relaxed for the rest of the afternoon, went for a swim and tried out the Boogie Boards and thereafter we watched the movies and let everything else be for that night. I am not really sure if I like to spend my Christmas like that, but for this year it was ok. I liked not to get hooked into the Christmas wave, but on the other hand do I like to decorate, bake, sing and be in that Christmas spirit. It is very interesting to experience how deep our roots are for routines and traditions.
