Thank you @barski for your kind words and prayers.

Indeed posting was out of the question, even commenting was difficult...however I could not disappoint the Keptin and crew. ^__^

However the worst is past and I am ready to press on....God's timing is best because God knows best.

About the Regatta....here is how Bleujay thinks of it...perhaps this will assist.

It is a bit of theatre really....

..there are those who are in the race and those who are not.

Those in the race are to hit the reply tab and put a bit in the tip jar....a casual reporting in, conversing with the spectators (those not in the race), etc...which earns Hive reward and position in the race.

Those not in the race are to support those in the race....encouragement, alerts, greetings, etc...hitting the reply tab and put a bit in the tip jar....this keeps the sailor on the crew list and moves him up in rank.

It is all great fun and has also introduced Bleujay to those who would not have otherwise crossed her path.

It would be lovely to have you there at least from time to time....however I understand the circumstances of your situation...which I keep in mind daily.

Kind Regards,

Bleujay

NB You are very kind to reblog my post....thank you so much.
