Tent Adventure!

So here we are, in St Criox, preparing for a yoga retreat and dance vacation. And we have built a floor and created a stage and put up a tent (not nessisarilty in that order)
But alas sometimes unexpected moments happen, such as this 





So as you might be able to guess we just had to do something, really it wasn't a choice. 
We got a ladder rigged so we could get up to the problem area

 Getting a closer look we were able to see that one of the straps that holds the bucket (the bit that the top of the tent pole sits in) had come undone, once we got the tent pole down (as it has to come down before it could go back up!) we were able to see that the top of the pole had developed a sharp edge and had almost sawed thru the strap holding the buck. Oh dear, oh dear. 





But back to what I was saying!

So repairs, right? And Repair we did
By climbing up the latter and sewing a patch strip onto the problem area, while the tent it being stabilized by two people with ropes down below (if you ask me later I will describe it better)


So that was fun and exciting, woot very tall ladders! 
Ad then the tnts was fixed, Huzzuh!!!



So maybe no more tent disasters...

P.s. Photo credit to Shawn Brenneman, she took all the photos and is just generally awesome

So an actual update in January

Ok so I may have left the mainland....
Huzzah is really what I have to say about it, St.Croix is (yep I'm going to say it) magic. And I know that so much of that has to be with being in a place that I am not familiar with and that I love being in places where everything is green and growing and alive and warm. So I am quite happy. I arrived yesterday and have already had some awesome adventures. Such as walking to 2 different beaches already. Warm sand on your feet and the sun over head, so so good. And just staying is the ocean until you turn into a prune enjoying the waves. Being able to sit in the sun (I already have so many more freckles that I did last week) and just listen to the wind ands rare out into the distance watching the water :)

Maybe my kind is too spinny to say much more about it, but if you ever can visit (and you can it is not as difficult as you think!) you really really should

Disclaimer take 2

Alright here we are again, I saw that my previous disclaimer got deleted somehow, most likley my fault. Oh well.
So here is is again, I'm attempting a blog like thing of (mostly) adventures of mine, it will possibly also have rants and other such things that I am prone to in my own mind. Oh so maybe I am sharing those things... See this is why I am posting a disclaimer.

I not making any promises, the writing may not be great (it might even be bad) who knows how I will be with updating (maybe sometimes a lot and maybe sometimes not at all... As the previous months have shown)

Part of why I am trying this blog like thing is because jthere are many people that I love keeping in contact with, and often people ask, "what have you been up to?" So I'm trying to make this a way of sharing, if I spent all of my tme emailing everyone my adventures I wouldn't have time to have them, and that would be sad. So this is once way of keeping in contact with the world, or at least my fraction of it.

I am of course sending out postcards and I not have so many people to send them too! Quite excited about this I must say.

So if you are still reading this then cool. maybe you'll be reading more sometime soon, so you should also know that sometimes I say things that are not perfectly correct and if you know me you know I never ever want or intend to hurt another soul in this world, but I have my opinions as we all do. So just in case don't Ever be offended by something I say and write, call me out on whatever you wish but know that we just all can't agree on every little thing all of the time, k?

Alright that's its for my disclaimer.
