April 2010 - TMCA Ins & Outs Cruise on More Good Timin'

Ernie & Camille Rogers on More Good Timin' asked us to join them on the "Ins & Outs" Cruise. This was a great opportunity for us because we really do miss sailing. The cruise itinerary was for our 7 boat flotilla to head out on Friday to Laguna Harbour, leaving early Saturday morning making the offshore run to Freeport and then back to Clear Lake on Sunday in the GIWW. Well! The fog was very thick so we could not go offshore. A decision was made to stay in Galveston at the Galveston Yacht Basin and enjoy the Strand and the camaraderie of friends. We had a great time despite the fog.

December 2009 - Stern Thruster Installation, Bottom Job & Strip Painted

Barb decided that she wanted a stern thruster to make life easier.  Here we go! Let's cut BIG holes in our boat and hope it works out. The professionals came in and in 2 days we had a great addition to our floating home!

It works great and makes docking (and the accompanying tension) a lot easier!

November 2009 - Oak Island - Job Beason Park Marina

This was supposed to be a cruise to Smith Point but due to low water no one could get up close enough to the bulkhead to tie up! We decided to head over to Oak Island to the new Job Beason Park Marina.
Another fun cruise in spite of adversity!
