Mai Tai experience 2024
Adventures of 60 somethings on board a catamaran.
On the 31st of January 2024, we became the proud owners of a Lagoon 400 2010 model, located in Opua New Zealand.
On the 27th of February, after a few family engagements, we flew to Auckland and drove 3 hours to Opua Marina, gathering some simple supplies on the way. I felt so cold and exhausted when we arrived that I nearly cried at the thought of living on this small, damp and smelly boat for the next 5 years. What had we done, we had a perfectly good life in a house. Why why why?
Tumblr media
The next day was better.
28th February 2024, we sorted out a few things and organized a few others. Where to put clothes, towels, and did we have enough. Sheets were on board, but I threw most out as they were thin and barley reuseable. I started a list of things to but for us and the boat to be comfortable and livable for the next…..years?
So first trip in our hire car to Whangarei, (Pronounced Foneray) we found Spotlight, Countdown, Kmart and Bunnings. We loaded up and drove the 1 hour back to Opua.
1st March 2024: Next day we though we would take her for a spin and charge batteries and empty the black water tank, (the wee and poo tank). So we got out to open water and came into the bay of Russell. Lovely little spot but the anchor wouldn’t go down, so I suggested David just drive around and Ill cook breakfast/brunch.
So we did that and headed back to the marina. On our approach, on an outgoing tide, she was hard to handle. The birth spot was big enough for a catamaran but not big enough for us to park in with our limited experience and a tide that wanted to push us where we did not want to go. So I am running around the deck shouting directions to David. More like, “STOP, YOUR GOING TO HIT THE WHARF”. More things like, “Oh what the FUCK, we are going to crash”. Came out of my mouth on several occasions. We had the neighbours, folk from boats near us, on the dock along with the harbor master Shane. He was speaking calmly to David about pulling back and not so heavy on the power, but I don’t think he could hear him over my screaming, “We are going to crash.”
Tumblr media
Yes we hit the dock and crushed our port side sugar scoop with an indent of about 25cm long and 10cm deep. Not too much damage to the boat but our self esteem was shattered, and I was a nervous wreck. One of our neighbours from a boat named Scallywag, was on the dock to console us. He had just had a similar experience and the tide pushed him into the bow spirt of another boat punching a hole in the side of his 50 ft catamaran…..Ouch.
2nd March 2024: Olly the previous owner came by and he sorted out the windlass, (anchor) not working problem. He said he cleaned up some loose wiring and maybe some got lost in the process and he unplugged the windlass. Not sure but he got it going and answered a lot of David's questions. We told him about our encounter with the dock and he said, “You know what they say, “You haven’t been around if you haven’t run aground”. I’m not sure if that made me feel better but, there you have it.
3rd March 2024: We gathered up our torn confidence and broken dreams decided we had to get back on the horse….so to speak. So out we went for another attempt at having fun on our new boat. This time we dropped the anchor in Russell, and I just put the kettle on when the afternoon storm that was expected at 1pm came early and interrupted our 10am brunch. So up came the anchor and we headed back to the marina. Before we even arrived my stress levels were off the chart. But we listened to Shane and came in on a slack tide and we managed to berth Mai Tai without incident. This was cause for celebration, so we had a shower and went into Paihia for dinner and a bottle of wine.
8th March 2024: Flew back to Sydney for my 60th birthday cruise on board Celebrity Edge to …..of all places, New Zealand. During this cruise we saw parts of the South Island and the sounds that were absolutely breath taking. The enormity of these places that we could now explore in our own boat! So we decided to skip the Rally to Fiji this year and explore New Zealand for 12 months. Plus we are not experienced enough in operating our boat yet. We need time and some nautical miles before we conquer open water.

Move-in went great! FYI I am never ever moving my self ever again. Movers are worth every single penny and having hired helpers to do the literal heavy lifting was life-saving. I'm still unpacking of course and I gotta figure out where to put my dryer - there's hookups for the washer in the kitchen, but it looks like the dryer will have to go on the back porch :-( cuz there's no vent for it anywhere in the duplex. The back porch is uncovered, too, so I'm gonna have to get one of those sun sails to go out there or something. Ugh so tedious, but it'll be worth it to be able to not hang clothes to dry or use a laundromat.
The new neighborhood is very much in the ghetto but like like the old people's side of the ghetto. Plenty of the people on my street are either retirees or disabled and not working, including my duplex neighbor. The street is quiet for the most part (except for the kid who lives in the house next door - he's clearly a twitch streamer because I can hear him screaming about video games from my porch). One neighbor sells soul food plates and that warms my heart. My best friend in middle school's grandmother sold plates from her house and I loved to visit because there was always something to eat and us kids ate for free. It really triggers my 90's housing projects nostalgia.
Sleep has gone well so far and I can already see the benefits of no longer eating and watching tv where I sleep. I've been able to take my ambien and fall straight to sleep 2 nights in a row now!
I had my first meeting with my advisor for grad school on Monday. I'm taking 2 classes in the fall and I think I've picked the class that I wanna use my scholarship for at the rare books program. It happens next spring (2025) at the NY Public Library and I've never visited that city alone before. Could be cool!

Ducktales is so fun bc underneath the silliness the character stories can be simplified to:
An ambitious man scrapes together enough savings over a childhood of hard work and leaves home to sail to a new country. There, he tries different ways to make money to survive and to send some back to his family. He goes to far and distant places looking for work and for a chance to strike it rich, and meets unusual characters along the way.
A pair of twins are orphaned and sent to live with their mysterious maternal uncle. The uncle, through mystical means, has extended his lifespan three fold and enjoys a life of riches and adventure. The twins soon find themselves joing their uncle on his trips and get into trouble.
A woman leaves behind her infant children for a last chance at adventure before motherhood claims all her time. However, disaster strikes and her plane crashes to never be found. She survives losing a limb and works for years to live and somehow make it back to her family.
A college student with voice problems is living his life separately from his tiny family. Then tragedy strikes and his twin sister's triplets are left orphaned, with his and his sister's old guardian to blame. He cuts ties with his guardian and takes the triplets, the last family he has left, to raise them himself.
A spy gives up her life at the agency to raise and protect the infant clone of a lifelong friend with many enemies.
A young girl lives with her grandmother, a housekeeper. They live in the mansion of the man her grandmother works for, a mysterious retiree who seems to haunt his own house. Isolated from the town below the hilltop the manor resides, the girl explores every nook and craney of the house and the grounds. The discoveries she finds are astonishing.
An evil sorceress tries to escape her enchanted confinement by creating a girl to puppet through shadow magic. She wants to use this girl to get vengeance on her foe who imprisoned her, but the girl begins to develop feelings for the foe's daughter.
Like are you kidding me all of these plots are so good and they are all present and way more developed in the show then I've written here AH great great show writing

Tax-advantaged savings has become a staple of the American retirement system, with 60 million savers squirreling away $6.6 trillion in their 401(k)s, alone. … [But] that success now vexes many retirement experts, alarmed by how easily Congress acquiesces to tax breaks for retirement savings that disproportionately help the wealthy while treating the benefits relied upon by most retirees — Social Security and Medicare — as budget-busters ripe for reform. … The latest expansion of private retirement savings comes at a time when Social Security, which the majority of American seniors rely on to cover basic living expenses, faces insolvency in 2034. Secure 2.0 sailed through Congress shortly before lawmakers convened working groups to try to fix Social Security’s $119 billion cash shortfall, which amounted to less than half of a single year’s worth of tax benefits for retirement savings that mostly go to higher earners. … The success of the retirement industry and its advocates in Congress has put a sinkhole in the federal budget at a time when entitlements are under threat. While the cost to the Treasury for tax-advantaged retirement savings was $81 billion in 1995, it has since swelled to over $369 billion in 2023 and, in the wake of Secure 1.0 and 2.0, is expected to nearly double to $659 billion in 2027.

Saffi: “I can’t keep doing this.”
“I can’t keep doing this,” Seven sighed. 
Raffi looked over at Seven, “Doing what?”
Seven gestured to the scene behind them. The string lights draped between old stone columns. The string quartet. The high ranking Starfleet officials laughing with Federation council members over Chateau La Barre. She downed the rest of her own Chateau La Barre and set the glass down on the stone railing overlooking the nighttime oceans pushing a breeze in through their hair and gowns. 
Raffi smiled and leaned back on the railing, facing the party and glanced up at the beginnings of stars peeking out as the sun’s rays diminished behind the horizon. “C’mon, the first time we saved the galaxy, they quietly apologized and gave us jobs. This time they’re acknowledging us. Granted it’s because we were wearing Starfleet uniforms at the time, but if they want to throw us a stupid party and feed me canapes until my dress pops, let ‘em.”
Seven’s mood lightened a bit at Raffi’s defense of the third stupid party they’d been to in the last month celebrating the avoidance of the second Dominion War at the hands of several Starfleet retirees, two Starfleet Intelligence agents, and the skeleton crew of the USS Titan. 
Seven glanced back at the party and took Raffi’s wine from her hand, taking a sip of it. She looked back toward the ocean. “The only consolation prize is Shaw is having a worse time than me.”
Raffi looked over at Shaw who was trying to eat his food and drink his wine alone in the corner, but people kept going over and disturbing him, congratulating him and not realizing his dour look was annoyance and not heroic brooding. “He is definitely not happy.” She leaned back a bit and looked over at Seven. “I have an idea.”
Seven raised an eyebrow in question.
Raffi pointed to a small dock at the bottom of a stone staircase where a docked rowboat rocked in the waves that were pushing it into a narrow canal used in the 17th century to ferry goods deeper into the European castle the party was held in. The canal was purely decorative now, kept clean and pristine. “Meet me at the dock in three minutes.”
Seven didn’t have time to question or argue because when she looked back toward Raffi she was gone. Seven shook her head at her girlfriend who was entirely too good at her job of blending into crowds. Seven was stopped four times on the way to the stairs and she had to excuse herself to the bathroom three of those times. One of the Commodores asked her to come see him at Starfleet headquarters to no doubt talk about a promotion that would make Starfleet look like the heroes of the almost second Dominion War were going to be leading the organization in the future. 
Seven made it down to the dock in a little over four minutes and found Raffi standing in the rowboat, setting a bottle of something down in the bottom and resting a tray of canapes on one of the seats. 
“What are you doing?” Seven asked. 
“We are absconding with an ancient sailing vessel,” Raffi held out her hand to Seven. 
Seven saw Raffi’s heels forgotten on the dock and stepped out of her own as she took Raffi’s hand and put her first foot into the boat. It was easier to balance than she thought and she sat down facing Raffi, finding their situation ridiculous and perfect. 
Raffi untied the fraying rope from the dock and let the waves push them deeper into the castle grounds. She picked up the bottle next to herself and pulled the cork out. “I made friends with the bartender.” She offered the bottle of aged whiskey to Seven. 
Seven smiled and took the bottle. She looked behind herself at the canal they were creeping down, “Do you even know where this goes?”
“Not a clue,” Raffi answered. She picked up a canape and popped it into her mouth. “But it is going away, which is what you wanted.”
Seven took a swig of whiskey right from the bottle, “You always deliver.”
“Anything for my girl,” Raffi grinned. 
As they floated away from the party, the noises and music faded away. They weren’t moving very quickly and found the canal had gone shallow in a few places, requiring Raffi to push off the edge to keep them moving. 
Ten minutes into their voyage they were both lying in the rowboat, heads resting on one seat and feet resting on the other, passing the whiskey back and forth and eating from the tray resting on Raffi’s stomach while they looked at the stars. 
“When Vadic was executing officers on the bridge, I hesitated before I offered myself,” Seven confessed when the silence had hung long enough for tipsy thoughts to creep in. “I wasn’t going to let her shoot me without a fight, but…” She looked over at Raffi who was hanging on her every word, “I’ve never hesitated before in a situation like that. But I wanted to live so I could see you again.”
Raffi reached over and rested her hand on Seven’s face, running a tender thumb over her cheekbone. She smiled sadly. She hated what Seven had gone through. She brought their lips together and kissed Seven, letting their lips rest together for a moment before pulling away. “I’m glad you lived.”
When it felt like she was being overwhelmed with emotion, Seven moved closer to Raffi and put her head on Raffi’s shoulder. She felt Raffi’s arm wrap around her shoulders and they got comfortable again looking at the stars.
A few minutes later, Raffi interrupted the silence again. “Seven?”
“Hmm?” Seven asked. 
“Did you spill the whiskey?” Raffi asked. 
Seven looked over at her hand and saw that the whiskey was still upright and mostly full. “No.” Then she felt why Raffi had asked. 
They both started sitting up and found that their very old boat was leaking. Raffi and Seven scrambled to stand though the back of the bottom half of both of their dresses were soaked. Raffi laughed and it caused Seven to take the situation with a wild kind of humor. 
Raffi found they were in a slightly wider, though shallower part of the canal. She looked to one side and saw a stone ladder carved into the stone retaining wall with what appeared to be a grassy area on top. 
She put a hand on Seven’s shoulder, “Stay still.”
Seven stilled in a standing position, feet disappearing under the water in the bottom of the boat and steadied Raffi as she stepped out into the canal. Raffi was submerged to her knees and turned her back to the boat. “Hop on. Don’t forget the whiskey.”
Seven found the entire situation ridiculous and endearing. She carefully put her legs around Raffi’s waist from behind and held onto her shoulders, sinking into Raffi so her front was pressed to Raffi’s back and her arms could loosely hold onto her chest from behind, an open bottle of whiskey in her hand. “My hero.”
Raffi chuckled and started walking toward the ladder carved into the stone, her dress becoming heavy with water at the bottom. When they arrived, she turned so that Seven could exit her Raffi-taxi directly onto the water without getting more water on herself, then climbed up after her. 
At the top of the ladder, Seven found them in a small grassy area that appeared well manicured, but rarely visited. A tree was in the center of the small lawn and a small walkway disappeared around a corner back toward the party. She offered her hand to Raffi who was at the top of the ladder and held her hand as they walked a few steps into the grass then sat down, able to see the ocean spread out in front of them with the inky black sky twinkling stars at them from above.
Eventually their sitting collapsed into lying again, this time with Raffi’s head on Seven’s stomach and Seven lounged back, a folded arm behind her head. 
“You should be out there with a crew,” Raffi started, gesturing vaguely to space. “Doing whatever you want because what you always want to do is help and the brass down here always take six months and a committee of fourteen to decide what shade of black our damn pants are.” 
Seven smiled. Before all she ever wanted to do was help. Now she wanted to help, but she also wanted to spend time with Raffi. “We should be out there. You, me, a fully crewed ship. A galaxy full of people who get ignored and need help.”
Raffi’s brain started spidering all over the place to people she could talk to about it and favors she could call in. “I think we have enough political capital now to get them to ignore the fraternization policy.”
Seven ran her fingers through Raffi’s hair. “Yeah, I’m sure we do.”
“You’ll look hot in the Captain’s chair,” Raffi set the whiskey down, pretty much done with it already. “I’ll look hot in the Intelligence Officer station. Hottest ship in all the quadrants.”
Seven laughed. “The envy of Starfleet.”
“Damn straight,” Raffi started laughing as well. 
They laughed together, lying in the grass, dresses soaked and whiskey forgotten and it was everything they wanted.

From Chester to Cattlewash
Meet George and Barbara Wilson – unofficial Canadian ambassadors to idyllic Barbados.
Written By Richard Perry
Tumblr media
Nova Scotia natives George and Barbara Wilson have made 27 trips to Barbados.
Driving north on the Ermy Bourne Highway it was becoming harder to keep our eyes on the road. To our right, three thousand miles of uninterrupted Atlantic swells were breaking on the beach. To our left, the sloping green hills of eastern Barbados displayed lush vegetation and the swaying leaves of breadfruit and coconut trees.
But as we passed giant Round Rock (an Instagram favourite), we saw the smiling Barbara Wilson, waving from her lawn in front of the big green cottage she had told us to look for “just across from the rock.”
We’d arrived in Cattlewash, named years ago when farmers walked their cattle down to the beach so saltwater could provide some relief to fly bites. These days it is a tiny rural neighbourhood serving two ends of the age spectrum: retirees looking to get away from it all and hipster surfers from around the world who ride giant waves in international competitions.
“Welcome to Cattlewash. Come on in.” said George. “May I offer you a drink…rum punch perhaps?”
The Wilsons have lived in several Maritime communities during their careers, but now make their home in Chester, Nova Scotia.
George is a tall, boyishly handsome 84-year old, a former head of sales for Kraft/General Foods in Atlantic Canada. With his velvety smooth, measured voice he could pass for a diplomat, well-suited to moving in high circles.
Barbara, now 80, was a nurse and wound care specialist who trained at the Royal Victoria Hospital in Montreal. More than once she’s had to treat friends on the island for everything from heat stroke to burns from a leaking gas stove.
Like her husband, Barbara has fallen in love with the Bajan people and their lifestyle.
“On some level, we equate it to the openness and friendliness of Newfoundland, which we both love,” she said. In their sailing days, they cruised the southwest coast, visiting outports and making friends with locals who helped tie up their boat. One couple invited them to their wedding.
We’d been tipped off about the Wilsons by fellow Nova Scotian John Cavill, a retired Air Canada public relations executive and a current representative for Barbados Tourism Marketing, Inc. In a country that relies heavily on tourism dollars and foreign exchange revenue, loyal repeat vacationers like the Wilsons are routinely feted at glitzy events hosted by the Prime Minister. This year marked their 27th trip to ‘Little England.’
“At our reception, two children in their school uniforms opened our car door,” said Barbara. “They were so polite and engaging. Inside, we were met with steel pan drums and children singing Beautiful Barbados.”
Beautiful, beautiful Barbados Gem of the Caribbean Sea Come back to my island Barbados Come back to my island and me.
Please me come back where the night winds are blowing Come back to the surf and the sea You’ll find rest, you’ll find peace in Barbados Come back to my island and me.
“We shook hands with Prime Minister Stuart that night. I told him we’re from Nova Scotia, and that along with Newfoundland we’ve always had a wonderful history of trade with Barbados. I said ‘We always sent salt, fish and lumber. In return, you gave us rum and sugar. We got the better part of that deal!’”
The Prime Minister of Cattlewash
Not five minutes into our hors d’oevres and rum punch, it’s clear why this Canadian couple has no trouble filling the cottage with guests. They are gracious hosts and love to share stories. Their friendships with Bajan neighbours and other vacationers have led to some creative hijinx.
“We have had fun jokingly forming our own government at Cattlewash,” said George. “We had a prime minister who was from Montreal, a Dr. Doug Kinnear who was the doctor for the Montreal Canadiens. He and his wife Katie have been down for about ten or fifteen years, living near us. So we had our ‘government’ meetings'. Barb, as a former nurse, was going to be minister of health. I was minister or tourism or something along those lines.
“Unfortunately, Doug died just last year. So last night at our party we held our glasses up to honour Prime Minister Doug Kinnear of Cattlewash. He was a colourful character. He always had stories about the Habs.”
Tumblr media

I found an obituary of their friend. He led the Canadiens’ medical team from 1962 to 1999. During that time, they won an impressive 12 Stanley Cups.
All roads lead to rum
It’s said of Barbados that wherever you see a church, you’ll find at least one rum shack nearby. We checked. It’s true. There are said to be as many as 1,700 rum shacks – on an island only 21 miles long by 14 miles wide!
I was curious if our new friends were fans of the tried and true Bajan rum punch recipe of one part sour, two parts sweet, three parts strong and four parts weak. “Actually, we leave out the weak…the water or juice. Ice cubes are all you really need.”
Seated on their patio, with the ocean in full view and a noisy surf soundtrack, we got into some good stories. Like the time they showed up in the local church, the only whites in the congregation, and the pastor, Father Matthias, invited them to stand up and announce to the flock who they were and where they were from.
“We gave our names and where we’re from in Canada,” said George. “It was pretty quiet. I told them we came because of the warmth of the people, who are very special and then added that we also came for … the Bajan macaroni pie. That’s when they got excited and broke into applause.”
An inauspicious welcome
George still recalls their first day in Barbados back in the late sixties. “In all our excitement, in the darkness I rushed into the water and had no sooner stepped in when I told my friend Bill, a doctor, that I thought a shark had bitten my foot, the pain was that bad. I had stepped on sea urchins. I had 40 barbs in each foot. I spent two weeks with my feet in buckets trying to get them out.”
In Barbados, everything is close. At 432 square kilometres (166 square miles), the entire island covers roughly the same area as St. John’s, Newfoundland. One minute you’re facing the calmer waters on the west coast, where play is the order of the day. Pasty white tourists, mostly from the United Kingdom, Canada and the United States fill the beach chairs and restaurants.
Tumblr media
The Wilsons’ front yard view, where the Ermy Bourne Highway skirts the Atlantic Ocean in eastern Barbados.
But head a few miles inland and the landscape changes dramatically. The terrain rises through sugar cane fields, past roadside neighbourhoods (with ubiquitous rum shops) past an occasional long-abandoned windmill. When you climb Cherry Tree Hill facing the wild east coast, the view is stunning – one of those stop and stare moments. It’s hard not to imagine the country’s colonial past and these very fields where slaves worked unbearable days in oppressive heat.
Soon, the twisty, bumpy roads wind down toward sea level and the untamed east coast where the Wilsons have found their Shangri-La, where it is quiet and scenic – just the way they like it.
Tumblr media
George and Barbara point to where they like to go for walks. Cattlewash has a beautiful one mile stretch of unbroken beach – said to be among the longest in Barbados.
“We’ve stayed in Sunset Crest in Holetown, and we like to visit,” said Barbara. “and we’ve had a safari tour into places that are like jungles, so dense and gorgeous. But when we come over that hill and in view of the sea and feel the trade winds, ahhh…coming down the hill…everything falls off and it is so lovely seeing the sea.”

Is Krisala 41 Zoy the Future of Residential Living in Hinjewadi?
Tumblr media
When I first heard about Krisala 41 Zoy in Hinjewadi, I was curious about all the buzz surrounding it. Being familiar with the area, especially its booming IT sector, I decided to check it out, and I have to admit—I was blown away. Located in Hinjewadi Phase 1, this project has everything a homebuyer could want. If you're someone who's looking to settle in one of Pune's fastest-growing tech hubs, you should definitely take a closer look at Krisala Zoy.
The Location Advantage
The first thing that struck me about Krisala 41 Zoy is its incredible location. It’s just a 6-minute drive from the Rajiv Gandhi Infotech Park, which is a huge plus if you're working in the tech industry. And with the Pall Metro Station located just 200 meters away, the daily commute to other parts of Pune is hassle-free. Whether you're heading to a meeting across town or just catching up with friends in Koregaon Park, it’s smooth sailing.
What's even better is the balance the location offers between connectivity and lifestyle. Krisala Hinjewadi offers easy access to schools, shopping malls, and healthcare facilities, making it a convenient place to live if you have a family. I visited the D-Mart nearby for some groceries and explored the BLISS International School, just a 10-minute drive away, and felt assured that this area had everything one might need.
A Modern Living Experience
What sets Krisala Zoy apart from other projects is the combination of luxury and practicality. I was taken on a tour of the two towers, each standing tall at 23 stories, and I could feel the attention to detail in every corner. The apartments, whether it’s a 2 or 3 BHK, are thoughtfully designed, with spacious layouts and modern interiors. The natural lighting and ventilation in these homes add to the airy, fresh vibe.
But let’s be honest: it’s the amenities that take the cake. I got a chance to dip my toes in the infinity swimming pool perched over 50 feet high. The view from up there is something you won’t forget anytime soon. There’s also a yoga center that immediately drew my attention—it’s the perfect way to start your mornings in a peaceful setting, away from the daily hustle.
The project also boasts a daycare center, which is a relief for working parents, and there’s even a multipurpose court for those who enjoy a bit of sports or social gatherings. What really impressed me is how everything seems to have been planned keeping residents’ comfort in mind. From the senior citizens' area to the kids' play zone, it’s clear that Krisala Zoy Hinjewadi aims to cater to every generation.
Is This the Future of Living in Hinjewadi?
I’d argue that Krisala 41 Zoy is certainly the future of residential living in this part of Pune. The real estate market in Hinjewadi has been growing steadily over the years, primarily because of the tech boom. But it’s projects like Krisala Zoy that are redefining what it means to live in this IT-centric part of the city.
With its premium homes, world-class amenities, and strategic location, this project checks all the boxes for young professionals, growing families, and even retirees.
