Not far from White Sands, I am pulling a one year stint in
the oil fields to
finance my cruising. A year here will provide 3-4 years
of upscale island
hopping in the Caribbean. (or 5 or 7 years of shoestring
cruising).

Holidays suck on the water. All the weekend warriors
and
glorified day sailors, like Bob, come out and cause
havoc
for the rest of us.
I was in the desert on the 4th. White sands, NM.

We went out for a few hours. Nice day, wind 10 - 12k
pretty steady.
Toward the mid-afternoon, we had a thunderstorm build
right above us.
We dropped the sails and headed back in a hurry. As
we
were securing
the boat, the heavy rain and lightening started.

But it was a great day while it lasted.
