It all began in the spring of 2007 when I said to Bill, "If you really want to go cruising then let's do it." By August first, we had both retired and were living on Corcovado.

There have been a few times that I regretted that decision, usually it involves me curling up in a ball, hand over my mouth, wondering why I would do such a stupid thing, and ending that thought with - I would be happier dead. Fortunately, I don't succumb to seasickness as much as I used to.

I know I can say for sure, without even having to ask, that Bill has never looked back. His smile and laugh are so much apart of him now, I can't remember him without.

And, so our life goes, this way and that way, country to country, island to island, and port to port
