Oh come on, remembering 2010 by listing a bunch of dead people. Don't you people have a life of your own?
For me 2010 will be remembered when my wife and I traveled from the Maritime Provinces to the out island in the Bahamas. Bare pole in storms, speeding along at 9kts under a full and well trimmed sail plan, or motoring in the calms.
Skinny dipping in the warm turquoise waters of the south. Diving, fishing and having a cookout on the beach. Learning to plan life around the tides and weather rather than an alarm clock. Exploring the Chesapeake Bay and learning more about U.S. history in four months than what anyone would in four years of college. Navigating in thick fog up in Maine. Hiking the Acadia trails. Building bonfires on Hell's Half Acre to cook up lobster.
Meeting new people, a rescue, sharing meals, making friends all who happened to be very alive and well. We will remember 2010, it was a wonderful time to be amongst the living.
