No Worries, Mon!

"No Worries, Mon!" - John Keyes

We're off on an adventure unlike anything the Knudsen bunch has done before. We've charted a boat with The Moorings to go sailing in the British Virgin Islands.

In addition to the 5 Knudsens, a Captain and a Cook accompany us. So it seems I've been replaced for the week. Since the meals will be prepared by the Chef and the homefront (or, boatfront) duties are the Captain's responsibility, I'm not sure what I'll do with myself all week. Maybe eat, sleep, read, swim, snorkel, shop, and possibly even learn to sail!

This could be my last blog post until we return since we might not have internet. However, since most (maybe 99 %) of my blog readers will be cruising the islands with me, the interruption won't likely be noticed a bit.

The classic line was emailed to Brent a few days before our departure. Brent's been asking The Moorings all the questions we throw out like, 'Is there electrical power for blow dryers?' and 'What size suitcases?' packing questions, yada, yada. Finally, after several email exchanges Brent asked about the forecast and the potential for rain. John Keyes wrote back encouraging us to relax, it's all good, and closed with "No worries, Mon!"

Yes, the laid back, laissez faire, island lifestyle could be good for this uptight Silicon Valley family! We'll probably return all ready to just "chill" in 2011!
