April 26,

We arrived at Cape Canaveral April 25 after 46 hours of glorious sailing time. We were able to sail some but most of it was motor sailing.

As we came through Freeport Bahamas the freighter traffic was unbelievable. With our new chart plotter it was so different that all I did was call Bo constantly  so in 2 days I bet he got 6 hours of sleep.

We were with another boat that we met in Nassau that has kept their boat in the Caribbean for 4 years and would fly from St. Paul, MN to the boat and spend 4-5 months on it and fly home. They now have the boat for sail so brought it back. They have been a fun couple to spend time with. We are both leaving Cape Canaveral tomorrow going 2 different directions.

About 2 the last afternoon both boats had to make a decision  as to keep going and get in here about 2 in the morning , keep going or kill time. Decision made, kill time…….fish. We do hand reel fishing and I caught a small Mahi Mahi , snagged another but it got away. We also had a passenger for a little. A little bird. 5 Years ago on our way home from Florida at the same place we also had a bird and Butter has real excitement with it. We thought it has flown away and when we got up the next morning there he was and Butter stalked it and bang caught it. The bird was so smart acted hurt with a floppy wing so Butter backed off and before you knew it he flew away.

We are directly across from the Disney Cruise ships. We are right next to where the space shuttle took off.

I will send several pictures. When I said we were anchored by huge boats here are a couple. Thought you might like to see the bird. Another sun rise as we were coming into Cape C.

Our journey is about over as when we head out tomorrow we plan to go for another 46 plus hours to Myrtle Beach and spend about a month for repairs.

I think both of us have learned a lot about different cultures and how we have so much and take it all for granted. Next year we are taking books for school and clothing .

Thank you for each of you being a part of our journey for the last 6 months.

God Bless each of you, will let you know our next few stops before docking for the summer and taking our 2 month road trips.
