S/V AMF 21, Sailing the Spanish Virgin Islands while Grooving to the Tunes of UB40 and Bob Marley...



Yeah Mon!! ... Steady winds, calm seas, blue skys, cold beer and reggae music! ... life couldn't hardly get any better than that.

Isla Palominos was invariably my sailing destination back in the day when I sailed my AMF 21... and I don't recall ever tiring of listening to UB40 and Bob Marley while throwing down a few Heinekens back then.

Eastern Coast of Puerto Rico and offshore islands, (aka: Spanish Virgin Islands)

Even the Birds are Weirder Here in the Florida Keys...



Things are definitely weirder down here in the Keys and I'm not just talking about the people that I previously blogged about either...

Just the other morning I happened to climb up on deck and saw the goofiest looking bird ever perched up on the bow of my boat.

It was still somewhat early in the morning when I found myself peering at that goofy looking bird on more than just a few ocassions just to convince myself that I wasn't seeing funny.

I'm quite certain that I wasn't hung-over from drinking either because I know for sure that I haven't imbibed in over a month... nor had I indulged in smoking any funny things the prior evening either because I ain't into that kind of stuff. If anything I had simply yet to have my first cup of coffee that morning.

Not only was that goofy looking bird peering back at me but I swear I could hear it singing a Bob Marley melody as well...

"... three little birds, pitched on my doorstep, singing sweet songs, of melodies pure and true, singing this is my message to you, ooh, ooh... Cause every little thing, is gonna be allright..."

Oh goodness, I'm quite certain that I still have my wits about me and if I don't, I'm sure somebody will let me know otherwise...

I'll have to describe the goofy looking fish that jumped clear out of the water and over the cockpit, and into my dinghy the other day but I've got things to do aboard my boat at the moment and that fish story will simply have to wait for some other day...
