We are sitting at a side walk cafe on Jan 7th and enjoying 85 degrees...not in US mainland but on S coast of Puerto Rico. We have had Angel Louise anchored here from Thanksgiving to Jan 2 when we flew back from US for my 64th birthday on Sunday. 23,771 days!!! & hope to get in another 10,000 just crising. This is my 918th day since leaving the dock at Herrington Harbour North as full Te livaboards . . . A dream that Norm, &others on this list helped nurture.
We'll go thru Virgin Islands & to a couple of French West Indies Islands & then turn toward Fla & go north in ICW before hurricane season & hopefully join up with Norm & Jan in Glosta! (grin) It's all good & they don't dock your numbered days for those you spend on the water!
