Dolly and Don’s Guest Blog
Saturday 28th December 2024
After a wonderful ten days, Tasha, Mac, Don and Dolly start their journey home today. It has long been our tradition to have our friends and family that come and stay with us write a blog entry. Don and Dolly have taken it a step further and created a multi-verse limerick to capture their thoughts. This certainly raises the bar for Tasha and Mac who are planning to start writing their contribution this morning!
Mike, our captain, Gloria the first mate,
Made our sail a perfect date.
With Mac and Tasha, Don and Dolly,
We made our passage without a folly.
All in all, we left nothing to hate.
Dominica, Les Saints, Guadeloupe destine,
Our goal was to sail without a questin.
The rains they did pour like our North Pacific shore.
Visiting Dominica with hikes, waterfalls and more.
Only Don lost out and the bugs had a win.
Waking to a squall, 4 traveled with rain,
Only to find that boulders in the road were a pain.
Options arose that led to exploring,
Syndicate falls were much more alluring.
They arrived to Picard Cottages with much to explain!
On Christmas we sailed with the sun in our face,
Happy to make it to the magical place.
Isle Le Pigeon had tropical fish galore,
It left us wanting to snorkel more.
Reminding us that life is not a race.
Arriving in Deshaies means our trip is near end,
What adventures are there just around the bend?
We'll be missing Mike's cooking,
Another trip on Cotinga we are a looking.
To the Captain and Crew all our love we send.
Limmerick writers we are not,
With some humor, we gave it shot.
To avoid walking the plank,
A Tale of Two Chemists we thank.
Let them know what you thought.
The photos in this blog are also from Dolly.
