First post from Anegada

Two pictures today: First up is the nifty handholds I made. These dangling knots, called a Monkey's Fist, not only provide a good handhold, they also prevent people from whacking their heads on the overhangs from which they hang!
One guest referred to them constantly as "Monkey's Balls", without even realizing how funny she sounded or why we were all laughing at her.

The most wonderful thing onboard is Tara's cooking. One might think that week after week I might get tired of it, but quite the opposite! Tara continues to astound me with her beautiful, delicious, and healthy gourmet cuisine. Check out this tortellini pasta salad with local organic tomatoes, broccoli, cauliflower, and prosciutto in a fresh herb "green goodness" sauce, and imported Italian grissini:The observant reader might also notice the new tableware.
