We are packing our bags, finding our passports and sandals as we get ready to head back down to the boat. Our trip north has been very sucessful with us finding a place to call home for part of the year when we come here to escape the summer heat. The work on the house is nearly complete and should be ready for move-in after the first of the year.

We are returning to the boat for 3 weeks to re-commison her after hurricane season. Excited doesn't begin to sum up how we feel about getting back on our floating home. We are anxious to sleep in our bed, walk around in shorts and t-shirts and see all of our floating friends. So, Tuesday will dawn early as we head south beginning our short interlude back aboard Scott Free.
