We laid over in Charleston to go home for the Holidays and have some work done on Kinja. A new enclosure, a rub rail for the side of the boat, a new SSB radio, bottom paint and other little stuff.

The sailing adventures of Kinja
You may be wondering what the heck Don't Stop The Carnival, Kinja and the Gull Reef Club are all about.
It all begins with Don't Stop The Carnival, a very funny adventure story written by Herman Wouk about a
couple from New York who decide to move to the Caribbean and open a hotel....something we have always wanted to do!
Kinja is an imaginary island in the Caribbean where the story unfolds (much like the stories aboard our boat!).
Ah, and the Gull Reef Club....well, you will have to read the book to figure that one out !

QUOTES YOU CAN LIVE BY
This quote was found on the wall at the Customs and Imigration office in Virgin Gorda
"The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, the education, the money, than circumstances, than failure, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company...a church...a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it. And so it is with you....we are in charge of our attitudes.
-- Charles R. Swindoll
American writer 1934
"Success is not found in what you have achieved, but rather WHO you have become."
"A tourist remains an outsider throughout his visit; but a sailor is part of the local scene from the moment he arrives." -- Anne Davidson
"Keep your thoughts positive because your thoughts become your words. Keep your words positive because your words become your behaviors. Keep your behaviors positive because your behaviors become your habits. Keep your habits positive because your habits become your values. Keep your values positive because your values become your destiny." -- Ghandi
"It is an interesting biological fact that all of us have in our veins the exact same percentage of salt in our blood that exists in the ocean, and therefore, we have salt in our blood, in our sweat, in our tears. We are tied to the ocean. And when we go back to the sea - whether it is to sail or to watch it - we are going back from whence we came." -- John F. Kennedy
"Twenty years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover. " -- Mark Twain
