Cruising the Caribbean and beyond to Australia, in search of palms and golden sunsets; in search of tranquil anchorages, magnificent beaches, and peaceful surroundings; in search of special places few will ever see; in search of filling the heart and soul with abundant memories. In search of the elusive Paradise! ....................

SERVE NO WINE BEFORE ITS TIME
BUT WHEN YOU DO, make sure you serve plenty of it, especially if you are having a Fare-thee-well party. The Pirate box was filled with wonderful and generous cards and brand new shiny "Gold Dollar Coins" and the thoughts and appreciation of those that we will genuinely miss. I hope they will travel with us on this journey. Needless to say the " 30 SOMETHING DAYS TO GO " is out the porthole. We are way behind in our departure date and that's O.K. A new era begins on Monday doing boat repairs .......
The list is slowly growing of things that should be done before we depart. Not having to go to work now really frees me up so that at last, I can really go to work. Soon we'll be leaving Florida and already the daily images we all take for granted will be lost. One kind of suddenly comes to grips with that. Traffic snarls on I-95, Spanish moss hanging from tree limbs, Panera's Bakery and that morning cup of coffee, the muddy St. Johns River with its 4 knot current downtown and TV in HD with commercials louder than cicadas and more frequent than locusts. What are we going to do...................... we have a plan to compensate......
That beautiful red hibiscus with its tinted edges is called " FLORIDA SUNRISE". It too, we will surely miss.....
