Slooplayla.blogspot.com is pleased to present a new incarnation, the better to follow a new adventure from near or far.

In early November, our dear friends mister Kenneth B. and miss Darci D. boarded a plane (or three) bound for the Hawaiian Islands. Unable to handle the cold, they chose to get out of the freezer.

So, for an indefinite number of months, the duo will wait out the Pacific Northwest winter by pursuing and intertwining their respective passions of scuba diving and organic farming.

As the fingers endowed to format this page, I'm sure I type for all of us when I write that we wish Darc and Ken all things good and harmonious and warm, and that we eagerly await pictures and details of the fun.

The Next Chapter:

Thank you all for the comments on the posts so far. Each bit of encouragement is noted and greatly appreciated!

ships cook, Snow Goose

I arrived in New Jersey yesterday morning 7:00am east coast time, 4:00am West cost time.  I've adjusted nicely to the time change now but upon arrival I was completely lost.  This blog will continue as usual, but now instead of  Sloop Layla's crew log it is now Sailing Vessel Snow Goosed Cook's log. The yacht is amazing. She's nothing like I've ever seen.  The crew consists of two South Africans, one Brit, three Americans, including "your corespondent," and an Italian, the owner.  Last night was a bit of a "last night in NJ" celebration and today we raise sail!  I won't be able to post as we are sailing down the coast but within 8 days we will be in St Bartholemy FWI.  I am having trouble uploading pictures so there are none at this point. I will keep tryin and soon you will see.

Cheers,

KB

    KEN, I DON'T SEE THAT MY LAST COMMENTS GOT TO YOU SO I WILL TRY AGAIN. WE LOVE HEARING HOW THINGS ARE GOING WITH YOU AND AS WE TRAVEL WITH YOU IN PRAYER, WE DELIGHT IN WHAT GOD HAS DONE FOR YOU, AND IS DOING.
    GRAMPA READS YOUR WRITING AND WONDERS WHERE YOU CAME UP WITH SUCH TALENT! HE THINKS YOU DO A GREAT JOB AND IS READY TO HELP YOU WITH ANY COOKING QUESTIONS. REMEMBER THOUGH, THAT WHEN HE COOKED IN THE AIR FORCE HE KILLED MORE TROOPS THAN ANY ONE AND THEY WERE ALL OUR GUYS! THAT WAS FROM HIM! HE IS A GREAT COOK THOUGH AND IS REALLY HAPPY TO SEE YOU IN THIS JOB. MAKE SURE YOU EAT SOME OF YOUR OWN FOOD THOUGH. HE NEGLECTED TO DO THAT AND IT TOOK YEARS FOR HIM TO PUT ON A LITTLE WEIGHT! I SHOWED YOUR PICTURES TO ANNELISE AND ELANA TODAY AND THEY WERE EXCITED TO SEE YOU! GRAMPA IS GLAD YOU GET TO GO SAILING AND HE GETS TO READ ABOUT IT WITHOUT GETTING SEA SICK!
    LOVE, A & g
