I know all too well the feeling of wanting to do something but not yet having the one most important element which in my case is a bicycle and in your case a boat. All good things come to those who wait. It WILL happen. Bag pipes....InTeReStInG!!! I play the harmonica. Try it sometime. Its an easy instrument to learn, small and compact and will drive the family nuts until you master it. Anyways...Take care and have a great day!!<br /> Art RomeroThe long and winding roadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04065230217129730879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1578399656308603032.post-41649618253344806692011-01-13T08:03:40.841-08:002011-01-13T08:03:40.841-08:00♥The rhythm of my heart beats like a drum, with th...♥The rhythm of my heart beats like a drum, with the words I Love You rolling off my tongue,<br />never will I roam, cause I know my place is home: Where The Ocean Meets The Sky I'll Be Sailing♥<br />Fair Winds my Love!<br />(33.2º,-117.2º)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1578399656308603032.post-67997460691118113262011-01-09T09:15:43.420-08:002011-01-09T09:15:43.420-08:00Hey Abby, what can you tell us about the Barcelona...Hey Abby, what can you tell us about the Barcelona WOrld Race????<br /><br />Any favourite for yoy????<br /><br />All the best sailors of the world are taking part of the race.<br /><br /><br />Pablo SPAINUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00962790137953073867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1578399656308603032.post-6735924679591275482011-01-07T06:37:21.944-08:002011-01-07T06:37:21.944-08:00Thank you very much, Abby, this is really a wonder...Thank you very much, Abby, this is really a wonderful comment...and a teaching to believe in the dreams.<br />Thanks,<br />Love, MatteoMatteo Caldonazzonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1578399656308603032.post-44653539174147211512011-01-05T21:25:47.581-08:002011-01-05T21:25:47.581-08:00isn't that quote from eleanor roosevelt?isn't that quote from eleanor roosevelt?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1578399656308603032.post-40664616806168233262011-01-05T16:28:56.029-08:002011-01-05T16:28:56.029-08:0001-05-11 @ 19:27

I bet you’d have a lot of fun on a small boat and you would enjoy that, at least you’d be out on the water. Glad to see that your working on the book, I’m anxious to read it. I’m also curious as to when you’ll be able to send a cd of your musical abilities on the bagpipe. I really do enjoy the bagpipes, not a steady diet of them though, I like to mix all types of music during the day, Jazz, Bluegrass, Good Gospel and some Dixieland. <br />I just read a post from Laura and she got an invite to crew on the “Stad Amsterdam” for a ten (10) day cruise, she sounded so happy you could almost hear her giggling between the lines…lol…<br />Well Abby, take good care of yourself and keep up the good work, how’s the schoolwork coming along???<br />Take care of yourself and continue to enjoy all your travels. God Bless You! Thank you for sharing all your interesting journeys. <br />Loads of love and hugs, and remember God is always with you. <br />Your faithful friend, fan and follower.hezakiah299https://www.blogger.com/profile/13831171696178539958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1578399656308603032.post-58369130361876090682011-01-04T20:25:57.167-08:002011-01-04T20:25:57.167-08:00Abby,
A belated Merry Christmas and Happy New Year...Abby,<br />A belated Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family. I think bagpipes are great, but they look pretty hard to learn. I can't wait to see a YouTube of you playing! Keep dreaming, you'll be out on the water before you know it. <br /><br />Nick, Waterbury CTnick martinellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07665609495462511327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1578399656308603032.post-82939118842982748812011-01-04T20:20:38.612-08:002011-01-04T20:20:38.612-08:00Abby - you've given me encouragement.

I appreciate all the blogs you have written and anxiously await your book. After I finish it I will place it alongside "Woman Alone" another great sailing adventure. You will be on another boat soon and I can hear the bagpipes as you sail around the world - marvelous. Keep going - you've kept me going!

I've enjoyed reading your blog and ...Hi, Abby!<br /><br />I've enjoyed reading your blog and following your adventures. You are a brave and wise young lady.<br /><br />Congrats on taking up the bagpipes. I started playing several years ago and really enjoy them. Small boat sailing is great, too. I have a 26' MacGregor (a slow old water ballast boat) and a 12' Hobie Holder (out of production). The 12' is really wild, especially on big waves. You can really get some great air sometimes. In the higher winds, I take my wife and dogs out with me to help hold it upright. We think it's a real blast. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you, too!<br /><br />Vernon & Joyce Goodman (Dallas, TX)<br /><br />P.S. My dogs sing along when I play the bagpipes--it's really funny.Tangled Synapseshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16274336561559386746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1578399656308603032.post-46856093577759239082011-01-02T13:03:24.220-08:002011-01-02T13:03:24.220-08:00Hi Abby

The only reason I ever got a small point and shoot camera was because it was waterproof, and my Canon Rebel was not. I'm sure it'll record some great memories for you!<br /><br />It's great that you're picking up something new and unique! :) I've decided to try to learn something totally new this year too, and I guess I surprised everyone by saying "sailing." Your definition of a small boat probably isn't going to be the same as someone like me who's never sailed before, but I'm going to be trying my hand at some Lasers or Hobie Cats this year. ^_^ Thought you'd like to know you've convinced someone to try new waters.<br /><br />Hope you have a wonderful New Year as well!skys417https://www.blogger.com/profile/13879046190501185841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1578399656308603032.post-66787287768740165672011-01-01T15:16:41.357-08:002011-01-01T15:16:41.357-08:00Those last three paragrahs are so true Abby.
