It's been a wonderful summer with many planned and unplanned events (check out our latest album Canada 2015)
We've been quite busy this summer enjoying the company of our family and friends (both land and sailing friends) and it's been wonderful! The highlights.. a visit from our daughter Thera and her partner Barry from Dubai and our son Michael and Heather surprised us with some wonderful, long awaited news.. We are going to be grandparents next spring!
We also topped up the kitty this summer, finding little part-time jobs. We stroked a few things off our land "to-do" list and some not on the list (like building a few garden boxes to grow some herbs, something we are certainly going to miss on the boat). New zippers have been sewn on our full surround and some parts have been ordered for Lion's Paw. We are slowly getting excited about our return to Green Cove Springs, Florida and to help with the preparation, we've been watching YouTube sailing videos on the big screen. Funny to think back to our first departure where we read tons of cruising blogs like this one, hoping to gain knowledge for our escape to sail south. How times have changed since 2008.
