As the top says, we like to sail, travel and eat. Most of this blog is written with my tongue firmly planted in my cheek. Beware that I might get a bit salty with the language at times, but it's all in good fun.
And despite what you may read, we are a very happily married couple.because we can laugh at ourselves.
Laugh. Love. Eat. Sail. Enjoy.

SewYoga with Special K

As has been noted, I've been working on a few sail loft projects.

What hasn't been fully explained is the new form of yoga/pilates that I have developed in said projects.

The following move is what I best describe as the Bimini Butt Kick.  

  1. First, place yourself in front of your machine.
  2. Take your left leg and wrap it under your right leg and reach around so that you are touching your butt with your heel.
  3. Take right leg and crank it up until your knee is around your ear.
  4. Place right foot on foot control
  5. Place left hand on fabric to guide.
  6. Go for it.
Be careful because the following will happen:
  1. You will get sudden horrible cramps in your hip flexor and/or arch of your foot.
  2. Your ass will lose all feeling.
  3. You suddenly realize your age when you go to unfold yourself and realize.....you can't.
  4. (for pet owners)  You go in full Mario Andretti mode when your dog decides to try out her high pitched crazy bark because she just saw a squirrel out the window.  This is followed usually by the foot cramp, and you'll have to remove the foot control from under your foot with your hand.
So, you know you want a visual, here it is:

Twister ala Sailrite

All in all, the funny joke is:  when you have a big project and you work from the floor (not sure that's advised) you wind up doing a lot of squats, pec work and triceps work.  Didn't realize sewing would be my new work out plan.

Okay, I lie, I never had a workout plan.

  1. Write a Sewing Workout book, publish, make millions and sail away from it all!
