Thanksgiving Sarasota

Spent Thanksgiving with Grandma and Grandpa in Sarasota, with a wonderful dinner provided by Grandma, who swears it is the last time... next year in Fort Myers! That would make us really happy, too, to be able to return their hospitality with a fun feast -- next year!

We also celebrated Grandpa Laci's birthday (a little early). Pictures to follow in a few days when the moving van has come and gone...

Vessel Name:	Parallax
Vessel Make/Model:	37' Prout Snowgoose (1982)
Hailing Port:	Pensacola
Crew:	Derek, Heather and Grant
About:	Two astronomers, looking for variable stars and adventure. After cruising the Caribbean aboard S/V Paradox for 18 months in the early 90s, the crew swallowed the anchor and had a child, always planning their next Great Adventure: cruising under sail with Grant, showing him the world.

Extra:	We knew that if we ever got a catamaran, we'd want a name to celebrate her twin-hulledness. Parallax is seeing the same thing from two slightly different points of view, which with our two eyes is what gives humans our depth perception. It's also a good metaphor for one of the benefits of marriage. [...] It is also one way astronomers find the distances to nearby stars -- only in that case, the baseline is not our eyes' separation, but the diameter of Earth's orbit! More
