Mike
Sorry again for the lapse in blog entries. We WILL catch everyone up with details, but our lack of internet connection (even when it is advertised) has stymied us on many occasions, and on other occasions, we've had only the time to check email, mail, and banking, etc.... OK, and the weather got nice, and we've become lazy. Stay tuned for updates, including:
• We watched the space shuttle launch from our anchorage
• We are almost always docked on "Troll Dock" whenever we stay in a marina...almost directly under a bridge. St. Augustine's Bridge of Lions was under construction, which made it all extra special!
• We might be getting tired of beautiful sunsets. Or maybe not.
• We CAN get through 19 bridge openings in one day!
• A 7-knot light breeze can really mess up the ocean.
• We CAN anchor in a 5-knot current...but we won't ever again.
• A 100 foot classic wooden yacht has been following us, and we think it might be the government ;-}
• Mike saved a man from drowning. He was on a boat anchored near us. Mike also saved his shoe.
• We might be getting tired of seeing dolphins swimming around and under our boat (or maybe not).
• Buttercup is having a great trip. Fugu....not so much. She lets us know frequently.
