    Day5. Cold morning. Inside the boat is dripping. After a few minutes of heat, the Pirate opens up the boat to start the drying out process. He heads out the the dock to ask if we can fill up with water and I pout inside for a while sipping coffee. Eventually I get tired of fussing, fix myself a bowl of yogurt and granola and go up on deck. It;s colder...

    The Pirate heads up the hill to the coffee shop. I stop at the marina bathroom to wash my hair. Not a lot of space, but it is heated. It's one of those pushbutton faucets that delivers about 6 seconds of water - either hot, or cold, not both. The hairwashing takes a while, and I do a partial blowdry by squatting under the hand dryer. The Pirate has...

    :lol: Hugs Lo-Lo! I figured you'd clear up your previous post once you ran out of good drugs!

    Day4. Up at 6am. It is fricking freezing. The Pirate turns on the 'heater' which means turning on the propane stove and lighting the oil lamp. I stay in bed while he's heating water for coffee, but without a second body it's too cold to stay there. I get up and put on all the clothes and sit under a blanket. It's so cold that I'm snorting steam out...

    Eventually the rain stops, I get warm, and the Pirate wakes up. He takes the dinghy off the boat ("splashes" it) and we cruise into the marina at Friday Harbor. We wander a bit, and find a grocery store. Ever mindful of my dietary needs, the Pirate asks where the gluten-free section is. The kind person says that they only have a few things, but if we...

    Rough most of the way across, but the entrance to the San Juans is particularly bad. Convergence, high winds, outgoing tide. The Pirate's comment is that it's like a washing machine. Salt spray in my coffee. A wave washes over the Pirate's feet. I'm cold. How is this even possible with all these layers? 5 to 7 knots all the way across. The Pirate...

    Day3. Early morning (and I'm using that word loosely), the Pirate leaps out of bed and runs up on deck. WTH?? The wind has changed. We can't stay here. but..but...will there be coffee? Yes, I'll make you a cup of coffee. I staggered (actually crawled, since the bunk is in a little hidey hole) out of bed and put on clothes, adding a fleece jacket...

    Day2 cont. The wind is still high and the water is very rough. I'm not nearly as cold having added an additional pair of pants, another long sleeve t-shirt and a hoodie. I am, however, worried about needing to visit cousin Ralph. The Pirate kindly points out the best side of the boat to puke off of. He's shaking his head saying it may have been a...

    Travel log Day1. A 2 mile hike to the little park where the Pirate picked me up. He wanted to stay in that little bay, but the day was beautiful and I fussed to get going. And the day continued to be beautiful and we sailed up the coast at a good clip. He kept choosing places to stop, but decided we were moving so quickly that we'd make it all the...

    I have no help to offer, but I am so so sorry. That sounds just awful. :(

    Nasty stale things that are cold and pasty. Nothing like the fabulous warm peanut butter cookies you'll make this weekend and eat all warm and chewy right out of the oven.

    Not vegan, but I hear you on the unpronounceables. Nasty chemical things we've all come to believe are edible.

    Drat those graduating kids! They should know better than to desert the rest of the team. Unless they choose to dessert them, then it's ok.

    Thanks for finding all those!

    Do you have any sources on this? It seems like something worth putting up so other people can check it out if they're having problems.

    There are no "Celiac genes", there are only genes associated with the disease. You can have celiac disease, but not carry any of the associated genes, or carry the genes, but never develop celiac disease.

    well....if your skin responds poorly to stress, then absolutely gluten-free would help that. If your body doesn't do well with gluten, then you are causing yourself stress every time you eat it. Removing gluten would remove that stress, and your skin will reflect that.

    Awesome! I detest the taste of toothpaste. When my current tube gets low I'll keep this in mind. It would be nice just to have clean teeth - not artificially flavored teeth.

    I like spark people.

    It's not charity when it's from your friends. That's called love.

    Cinnamon almond pancakes with home made apple-molasses syrup and home made butter.
