December 2017 | MONTH IN REVIEW


Here's a quick summary of what we were up to this month.

  • Alex flew back to Trinidad on 7th December via New York where he picked up more stuff for the boat.
  • Not much to report on the progress of our boat projects though, as he spent the month recovering from a bad cough & cold. He also spent a lot of time re-arranging the tools.. {cleaning up the mess or so he says..} 😀
  • This Christmas was extra special because I got to spend it with my family.  💗
  • Happy one year anniversary to sailraptor.blogspot.com! ;) Can't believe it's been a year since we started this blog; it's definitely come a long way {if I do say so myself}, with over 120 published posts and forty more in draft. Will get it up-to-date someday. 😅
  • It takes a lot of effort to maintain a blog but very fulfilling. Sorry for being a little slow with the posts. Been busy adapting back to life in the rat race.
      • Just want to say thank you for your support by following our blog, reading our posts and/or shopping through our links. Every little bit means a lot to us. Thank you so very much.
      • It's New Years Eve and it's been raining all day and night here in Singapore. Here's wishing all a happy & sunny New Year! 


      A typical cruisers travel bag - no clothes, just boat stuff
      Most importantly, chocolates the size of his backpack!
      Got Alex to send me some photos of New York
      Christmas lights
      "Here comes Santa Claus, here comes Santa Claus right down Santa Claus Lane"
      His breakfast!?! :O

      Till next month!
