Once again we are awakened by the sun poking its way into the nest of the captains cabin.

Ruby has spent the night curled at my shoulder seeking my warmth as the temperature

dipped into the 40's last night. (Winter time by Mississippi standards.) The heat from the

boiling water, as I prepare my morning coffee, gently warms the closed cabin. Later we

move to the cockpit to seek the warmth of the sun and sip the hot coffee and take in

another day. I sit in awe as Annapolis awakes and think of how lucky I am. Once again

I will spend the day at my leisure, far away from the disturbances that we to often view

as life. My life has become very simple and as I grow older I find simple is best.
