April 29

We left Nassau with friends and came to Cape Canaveral in 46 hours spent 2 days left again and 2 boats went on to Brunswick, GA and we came on to Myrtle Beach 50 hours. We got to our marina about 10, showered and had lunch and crashed.

I slept a lot on this crossing and Bo was at watch most of the time except for the 5 hours or so he napped.

So good to be home again.

We have friends at another marina we met in Florida 4 years ago and spent time last year when we were here. We are picking them up tomorrow morning as we have a car rented to a month. In that month we should have all our lightening repairs done.

Friends we met this year from Belgium are on their way across and coming here to spend time with us for a few days also, so excited. Can hardly wait until we meet up with them in their home country how awesome will that be. They are our tour guides and we also have a place to stay.

The crossing was uneventful thank heavens, seas were fairly calm had roller waves and winds stayed at about 10-17. We had something I had never seen before, dolphins that are called Spotted Dolphins. Bo has seen a show about them so was excited to see them.

Getting my hair cut this week as I have only trimmed the bangs so I could see out. Bo wants me to keep it long so will give it a try, but as most of you know I do not do hair, never have and never will, I am the shake it and go kind.

Our friends on Cat's Meow will be back in Gloucester Point VA mid June and by then we will be one our first road trips for about 3 weeks seeing family and friends. Will be great get back and see Donald and LaVonne again at Gloucester Point when we get back.

Bo is still trying to decide if he wants to sell the house. We have doctor appointments in June,July and August so can get some more of our boxes gone from the house and a friends will take the last of the bedroom furniture we gave her.

We have had an incredible journey this year and some people say across the pond,,,,,,,let me tell you it is not a pond. But they are so true, living a dream and being able to share it with all of you.

Will keep you posted on our next adventure.

We have friends coming last of May-first part of June from Tucson. Mike is going to travel back with us to VA and we are trying to decide if we do the 2 day trip around Hatteras or the long 7-10 days on the ICW.  As you remember our adventure around Hatteras last November.
