As fellow gardeners and wanna-be homesteaders, we totally understand the draw back to the earth. As we cut ties this last month to our home in Montana, and yearn for the ocean, this is wonderful reassurance that someday we will again yearn for the feel of the dirt between our fingers and that ripe homegrown sungold tomato popped in the mouth. We're excited to someday be exactly where you guys are right now - appreciative of your water time and ready to head back to the land.<br /><br />Katie and MarkControlled Jibehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02769587881793376351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5364007696980153734.post-44305268296579745342012-05-06T07:06:52.869-07:002012-05-06T07:06:52.869-07:00Well hello DealMaker!

We were truly never destined to meet. <br />Best wishes to you too. And it seems we are headed in the same direction, just different modes of travel, so who knows?<br />LauraJust a Minutehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09620231869880400675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5364007696980153734.post-6066198402452435012012-05-04T17:25:17.654-07:002012-05-04T17:25:17.654-07:00Thanks Diane,

But no, when I felt sorry for families in the past it was because I couldn't imagine going home at that time in my own cruise!

Missing the opportunity of running into you, Patrick, Jack and Rudy at some quiet anchorage or marina is more reflective of the sadness we feel.Neophyte Cruiserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00786143804921164212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5364007696980153734.post-51756808007975834192012-05-03T21:20:55.312-07:002012-05-03T21:20:55.312-07:00And as you reacquaint with the life you left to go...And as you reacquaint with the life you left to go cruising, I imagine you will bring ashore the good you absorbed from the cruising culture and the Mexican culture.

There are a lot of choices. But no matter what city, it's the NW for us for sure.

I really felt we gained so many things when we stopped cruising last time to return to Vancouver and our families with a baby Maia. There was a nostalgia for what we gave up, but it was partnered with this incredible awareness and gratitude for what we were getting back.Diane, Evan, Maia and Charlie the cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07607359149594812176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5364007696980153734.post-24397369291565663432012-05-03T11:29:08.776-07:002012-05-03T11:29:08.776-07:00One of the cool things I can see about going back ...One of the cool things I can see about going back is being able to pick where you're going to live.You can start over anywhere.
