My Gypsea Life

Our Mosquito killer.... Well maybe one day.... Bit small still.....🐸💀 #gecko #naturalrepellant (at Mitchell Resident's)

This just blew my mind!!! An entire rainbow touching on the beach from one end to the other!!!! We aren't anchored far enough away for me to get the whole shot!!! But it's amazing!!!!! 💜😍🌈☔#nofilter#rainbow#rainbowlove#thatjusthappen#itsgoingtobeagoodnight#luck#rainbowluck (at Punta Arenas, Vieques)

Night sailing is like driving your car with the windows completely blacked out, only relying on your GPS with bowling balls being thrown down the road. You can't see shit! Someone once told me your first night at sea you think "oh my god, what am I doing?... I should have done this or that... " and you can't wait for the sun to come up, the 2nd night you know what to expect but your still not sure and by the 3rd night your secure and land looks scary-due to the fact that land is where rocks are ledges, breaking waves, things you can hit are close to shore... As I have experienced all three of those moments, EVERY night sail I'm counting the minutes till the sun comes up... It's not that I am afraid...I mean there definitely was a point I was scared shitless when the sun went down...but after half of my sailing experience being at night fear is not the subject... It's just plain annoying, You can't get acclimated, you can't see the waves so your not quit sure what direction they're coming from.... And then when you think you've got it figured out the wind changes... Then you see a light, and I don't mean shore lights, I mean your in the middle of the ocean and there's a light...what it is? A freighter, a bouy, another sailboat hove to. How far away is it? Your depth perception is completely off... Something that is 10 miles away looks like its right off your bow. So you slow down, lose momentum, (that is you go from a hefty speed of 4knots to 2.5 knots...) Do you know how long it takes to build that momentum back! But what is it? Finally you get back on course go by the mysterious light and still have no idea what it is.. Oh and since you can't see the waves you have idea when your about to take a nice cold saltwater smack to the face... And all this time your praying you don't hit a crab-pot, coral head, or rock...and then the sun does comes up (which is a glorious sight to see... the sunrise with no land around!) Although sailing at night does have advantages, like no sunburn, its not hot, the sky is beautifully studded with millions of stars and if your really lucky you get a full moon!! But even after getting into a night rhythm .... I'd still rather be driving a car with clear windows down a street with no bowling balls!!

Mofongo has a mild flavor, and pairs great with any bold dish such as indian curries, stir fries, and Caribbean dishes!
