In order to take advantage of tides, winds and other factors we often set out quite early on the Quijote. 6AM is not an uncommon time to get going. By the time 2 or 3pm rolls around it is time for us to anchor. This leaves of plenty of free time in the evening and tonight we decided we would get creative and play a word game.
When we were in Campbell River, Kay spotted a toy store and purchased a game called BananaGram. It is loosely related to Scrabble but with a lot fewer rules. We decided to chuck all rules and just have fun. We spelled out obscure words and laughed at how they combined to almost form a story. We decided to play with the letters not on a traditional X,Y grid. We toyed with spacing. We tried to come up with palindromes. Rod formed a block out of 3 letter words. My favorite was a game called "Rock Band or Race Horse" where we thought up weird names for well, bands or horses. It was all done in a spirit of silliness and the good company, wine and music made for a fun evening.
