December 26, Friday - Holiday Season (California)





Christmas Eve and Christmas Day were a delight with Will’s family and our family plus two dogs melding together wonderfully. Both families practice low impact gift giving with focus on the people and not the material exchange.
For breaks we wandered through the redwoods looking for the mushrooms (a big pastime in Sea Ranch) where locations of prime mushroom picking are closely guarded secrets. Or going to the beach to take sun shots for my celestial navigation class. I was overjoyed when Caitlin and Will’s mom, Sharon, joined me. Both are top-drawer sailors so they joined in taking turns with the sextant.
Or taking rides in Tom’s (Will’s dad) three-sitter airplane along the coast. Life is good.
(The word from La Conner was that 16 inches of snow was now on the ground) Life is very good.
