HAPPY NEW YEAR!! I am sitting on the screened porch with Randy, who is diligently reading about electrolysis and our cat Sophie, who honestly we weren't sure if she would be with us as we ring in another year. We will spend the night in town with friends watching the "running of the dragon" here in Oriental NC.

This will be the year that Randy and I celebrate 20 years together, owning a boat together for 19 of those years. Time goes by very quickly when you are happy. "Our life" has taken a different direction these passed couple of years, but the dream is alive and well and when the time is right, we will get back out there.

We wish all the happiness and good health to all of our family and friends.

The photo is of us on the schooner Hindu last summer in PROVINCETOWN Harbor. That is where it all began for us.
