Walter, we will get down there sometime, though not for a couple
months. We look forward to seeing you in our future.
I am trying to retool my credentials ... its hard professionally for
me, but I and am trying to form a joint Lawyer-Pirates union.
Are you on the East End of PR?
We are cruising live-aboards finally, but kind of stuck on chicken
bone reef (as Rick Kennerly would have said in the old days) now at
Charleston for a few weeks taking it easy. We had not stayed at a
marina (other than our marina in
Maryland where we were liveaboards the last 2 yrs on ENJOUE) ...
except for a week on a marina mooring at the 79th St Marina in NYC -
what a great place.
Sue and I are avoiding type A behaviour. Maybe too well. I cannot
seem to keep any schedule and am a terrible worker. I should fire
myself.
We bought our Catamaran Nov 15th - after 5 yrs of getting ENJOUE
ready to take off. Go figure. We did reserve a pile of gear we had
gotten for the other boat, but still need to install a lot.
After our trip to NYC this summer we made a trip home for family
weddings and then a family funeral so like many living on boats, life
goes on. Our boat has a lot of stuff we are still upgrading before we
get into heavy waters. We think Angel Louise will be at least a week
or ten days at Charleston, then we intend to jump off to Brunswick,
GA, then somehow we will levitate ourselves to the Bahamas! We look
forward to getting to warmer waters...
My todo list is so long: including install watermaker, install solar
panels, fix alternator, replumb water lines, get SSB and Ham unit
running (have antenna and SGC SSB unit - does not seem to be working
right), finish Jordan Series Drogue, and a list of other stuff. But
we got a great boat. We earlier knew we would have a lot to do and
only left the Chesapeake the Sat after Thanksgiving, believing we
would do the work after we got to a place we could work without
gloves. But we are not hurrying fast enough.
Sue and I have a good friend who has his boat CHEERS down near Isla
Margarita, which is our first season's objective for this June - but
the getting there is the fun! We are lucky and happy to have a tiny
pension despite our creaking bones and a boat that will keep us afloat.
We don't know where we will live if we live long enough to get tired
of cruising (we sold the house a year ago). But we were driving by a
Home Depot up by Annapolis in early spring and I pointed out to Sue
the possibilities of buying one of their model home on a site we
were driving by. She replied that the place I was looking at was the
Home Depot store and that what I was looking at was their storage
shed lot.
HAVE A GREAT DAY! Thanks for the encouragement. We will burn the
dock lines real soon now!
