First Wedding Anniversary


One year ago today we were married in Tortola, BVI.  At times I can’t believe it’s already been a year, and other times it seems so long ago.  We’ve had so many experiences in the past year and as each day passes we come closer to realizing our dreams.


It was important to both of us that our first anniversary be special.  When we got married we talked about going to Italy and Spain for this anniversary.  But with the purchase of Volaré earlier this year, that was no longer a practical option.  As it got closer we tossed around other ideas – a weekend in San Diego, a weekend at the local Ritz Carlton, taking the boat to Catalina or staying on the boat at the dock and continuing to work on the list.  Working at the dock and heading to Catalina made the final cut.  In the end, we decided that even though there are months of work to do, since we celebrated our honeymoon at sea, we should celebrate our first anniversary at sea.

Jason went out fishing first thing in the morning to add to our celebratory feast.  He came back with a 14" Calico Bass, enough for a great afternoon snack.  Being a bit squeamish about the hunting/fishing thing, I couldn't bring myself to take a picture of it so you'll just have to use your imagination. I"m sure I'll get over it eventually, as we're figuring fresh fish will be a great free staple.

It was the perfect first anniversary and we're looking forward to many more on the boat.
