Well, what can I say? I have been bad. We have been in and out of areas with Wifi and we have not left St. Thomas for a host of reasons. If you noticed in the heading, my location is Houston. We have come back to Jettie's parent's place so we can deal with some things in Houston, like going to the doctor for refills, scheduling my double knee replacement, making sure the doc, hospital and procedure is on my insurance before we get back here this fall to get it done and over with, back to see Jettie's parents as they are in their eighties, and to get some stuff out of our 40 foot container, before Jettie buys everything we have in the container for the boat all over again. Now we really need to have a gargage sale since she has nearly bought everything we had set aside in the container for the boat. Since we were not able to sail back due to the weather, she has been doing "a little" shopping. There are a few odd things we want that are tooooo expensive down there, like kayaks. Now we have to see how much it will cost to ship one back to St. Thomas.
And then the weird part was leaving Dutchess by herself for the first time. She is in capable hands with Mack as he is sitting in his boat like 100 feet or so from Dutchess with no one between us in Vessup Bay. This is the first time we have left her for more than a few days that we spent with Shaun up at the house. I thought that I would have sea leg issues but I haven't had it at all, even going over to Shaun's house. I wonder why that is. I would get it just in a weekend on my boat on Eagle Mountain Lake and the movement is definitely greater on Dutchess even though she is a cat and Jibsaw Puzzle is a monohull.
So I am going to try to post some pics from the memory card from my camera. I didn't want to haul it back here as I did not think we would be taking too many pictures, yet I wanted to try and catch up on some old posts. I am also going to try to make a committment to post something, if possible to the blog once a week. Now... let's see how good I do with that! I will do my best!
