still alive
30 August 2008
Guess all of you have been wondering if we are still alive, well if you get this update, then you know we are. Sorry that I have not updated sooner but we have been very busy. My last update we were heading to St Thomas to pick up Cate. She returned on July 24 after spending time with my Mom in Ocala where she had a blast playing with her cousin Summer. The summer program she was signed up for here in BVI started on July 28 so we headed back to Tortola. Yesterday was the last day of it, so she was sad as she had lots of fun and made some friends. Kids are so funny, before it started she was saying I don't want to go. After the first week she was telling us to hurry or she will be late. On the weekends Cate has been going to Church and the beach with Sharleen and Skye. So all in all she has had a full summer. But school starts for her on Monday. I can't remember right off the top of my head how many projects, meetings and training sessions Kim and I have done in the last month, but like I said we have been very busy. We have moved the boat to Trellis Bay by the airport Lat 18 26 82N Lon 064 31 92W because I am doing some training with the airport fire service for the next 2 weeks. We also have had some fun on the weekends so no complaints. We paid the import fee of $200.00 for the boat so now it can remain in BVI waters for more than 30 days at a time up to one year. With a letter from DDM we got entry permits in our passports so now we can stay longer than 30 days also. We still go and check the mail and like to go over to St Johns for the weekend but clearing in and out is much easier now. We also had the vet come and check the animals so they no longer have to be on the boat all the time. The weather has been good to us so far. And I will not jinx us by talking about hurricanes. Well guess the hits the highlights for us living in paradise.
