Fog, lots of fog

Here we are. Only a couple of hours away from departure and there are fog advisories and storm warnings. My father always told me that only a fool leaves when he knows there is bad weather coming. If you are already out and get caught in bad weather, then, you had better know how to deal with it. So we will wait for awhile before we leave.

Cheryl already told you about the fantastic party we had Friday night. Some guys are just really lucky to have friend like we have. They are the best and will surely be missed.

Not sure where to begin to tell you about the crew member our friends added to our boat. It's my guess that everyone thought that Tommy needed company on the trip. "Dora the Explorer" is definitely not shy but she doesn't say much. As you can see from the picture below, she didn't bring much gear aboard. One of her hands keeps disappearing, but that is another story. I think Mark Condon knows where it goes.

We are trying to figure this blog thing out and are thinking about upgrading our features so that we can add more pictures at one time. Give us a couple of days and this might be more interesting.
