Okay, I was at dinner with my land friends, Laura, Gene and Anna and was told that I need to conclude my Spring 2017 blog entry so here goes.

The last time I did a blog entry we were in Oriental, NC having our fuel tanks replaced along with some other upgrades. To our surprise the replacement of the fuel tanks took a lot longer than estimated. It took so much longer, that we realized we did not have enough time to bring the boat back north this summer. So once the fuel tanks were installed we had the boat hauled out of the water and placed on the hard for the remaining of the summer. We are now staying with our daughter and family in Baldwinsville, NY until the end of September when we will head back to North Carolina, re-provision the boat and head south for another winter in the Bahamas. So until then we are enjoying quality time with our daughter, son-in-law, twin grandsons and Enzo the grand dog. Hopefully, we will catch up with you all again in October. Until then, Ron and I hope you are having a nice summer.
