Happy Thanksgiving all!!
Memories of Thanksgivings past brought this celebration to mind, which I wrote about it for Three Sheets Northwest. I thought I’d also share it here. Remembering one of our wonderful Thanksgiving celebrations aboard during our epic sailing voyage, which sparked my book, Tightwads on the Loose, and a desire to adventure again.
Some background:
I’d made tentative plans to host friends who were working for the America’s Cup in New Zealand (2003) while we were in town aboard our boat, Velella. Our first attempt to organize a celebration on Thanksgiving day was thwarted by the race schedule. So we decided to try again a few days later. I assumed we’d cancelled when I didn’t hear anything. But then my friend Vicky called in the late afternoon.
“Hello?” I answered.
“Well, the boys are off the water. Looks like we can finally celebrate Thanksgiving.”
“When?” I asked.
“Say an hour?”
“An hour?” I sputtered.
Oh boy . . .
