The power of the sun can be measured in many ways but my favorite is how it can lift you up from a long winter. Going on vacations to exotic sunny destinations has always been a favorite but this year we found a new exuberance wrapped up in all of that warmth. You see this year will be the first spring launch for the Aqua Villa at her new home in northern Illinois and we didn't expect the spring fever motivation that our last sunny stay-a-way provided. While staying with our friends Capt. Rick and 1st Mate Pamela on board the Tourist Lisa and I found much more than the usual vacation calamity that occurs while on holiday. This trip was different than all the rest, an emotional awakening of sorts knowing that soon we would be feeling the warm breezes from the deck of our Aqua Villa. With thoughts recommissioning check lists and new projects for the up coming season swimming through the coconut rum and gin our brains we found ourselves smiling uncontrollably. Let me tell you, if you try this and throw in an occasional dolphin flipping in the wake you'll find that same smile. I'll even pass along a recipe that will get you there and never miss. Here's what you'll need, a boat with the hook in the sand and a hot grill, the freshest tuna money can buy, a good bottle of wine with a post card sunset. I just don't think it can get any better than that!
Until next time
