Sitting on the flybridge, watching the sunset, listening to music and thinking (I know that is dangerous). I went to the cardiologist today as I have been having chest pain again. Next week I have to get another stress test. Maybe that is what got me to thinking. Thinking about lots of things, the sunset, the boat, the Keys, the beautiful clear water, My two daughters, my father-in-law. Thinking of how happy and sad I can be at the exact same time. Happy that I am living in paradise on a boat watching the sunset every night, but missing my girls. Then my thoughts turned to my father- in-law who died of colon cancer when he was 48 years old. I am now 56. I have already had 8 years more than him. We were in Australia when he died. I was 29 at the time and 48 seemed ancient. I realize now that he was just a pup. I can't even imagine having missed the last eight years much less what the future holds. I would like to pretend I understand, but I don't have a clue. I am just thankful for the time He has given me and want to take advantage of every minute.
I took a break from my "thinking" and went down to use the head, as I was returning to the main saloon my wife who was already in bed motioned for me to come over and give her a kiss on the way. I obliged much to my own dismay as she then smelled the Frito's corn chips on my breath (a rare treat on our diet) and then I was in trouble. Oh well this is not the first time I have been in trouble and probably won't be the last. She of course wanted some as well and I had no choice but to give her some. Marriage is the funniest, most serious, strangest, most natural, hardest, easiest, strangest, most natural, heaven and hell relationship you will ever be in. Lol

Sitting on the fly bridge at sunset and thinking is one of our favorite things to do aboard. Sometimes too much thinking as well... !
