Day two in the water, June 7th. We had plan to leave this morning but, yesterday late afternoon we found out our GPS on the boat wasn't working, and there was no way, no matter how many times John can talk me into doing things i know are way too danagerous.
Tomorrow morning we should be leaving for Grand Cay by Walkers cay if anyone wants to look it up on the map.
Once we get across we aren't sure the next time that we will be able to get back on the internet, but during this time and the next, we will be blogging on word [ to cut and paste ] and taking pictures to add as soon as we do, to keep you posted.
it's getting ready to rain and i have to run down in the boat will post later.
Captain and painted toe nails.......[ Thanks Sheri}

Bloghog finale
Saturday June 20, 2009
Today we are leaving to head back home but we missed the group that left at 5:00 am this morning due to the fact that we had too much roster of the gully roosters last night. Not sure what time we headed to the boat last night but I do know it was way too late.
We left out at 8:00am and one of the engines was not running right so as I sit here writng this John is in the engine compartment changing out the fuel filter as we drift. So the rest of the day is uncertain.
Last night was the capton's meeting at the buff house with the final dinner, which consist of fish ,chicken, salad and of coarse rice and peas. They handed out the awards and we missed receiving any. Most of the awards were revolved around the trip over and since we did not cross with the edgewater group …. No rewards.
So we finally got underway around 9:00 am and stopped at West End for fuel and made it to West Palm around 3:00 pm. We loaded up the boat and had to go South to the airport to go to customs. We picked a spot to stop at 9:00 pm. Palm Shores. We got to the hotel and they said that you cannot eat past ten so we detached the trailer, sprayed on cologne and headed 4 miles to Flagler Beach and had a great dinner on the deck looking at the beach. Boy it sure is wonderful to pay US prices for meals again.
We are back at the hotel where we can sleep without our feet hanging off the bed and we can actually keep the water on in the shower and turn around. I think the bed is larger then our entire cabin on the boat.
We will give a final report tomorrow after some much needed sleep.

Friday again
It is currently raining and I have been banished from the boat while Judi arranges. She has done a wonderful job keeping the boat liveable and manageable. Small space but never a bad nights sleep.
Thursday
Thursday was snorkeling with Brendal and the island picnic like we all did last time. The weather was good the snorkeling beautiful and the picnic fabulous.
And the rum punch was plentiful. When we got back Judi took a little snooze and I went to play basketball with Johnny Cool. After snorkeling and rum punches I ran out of gas in the 95 degree sun and he got me by two points in the rubber match (my apologies John Jr).
We had dinner at the Bluff House. We giot there after it was over but they nmanaged to get us food. We came back to thhe club and hung out with Debbie a while and then an early night.

Wednesday
Wednesday was an interesting day. We spent the affternoon at Pineapple's pool where we mwt the following.
Jason, a 41 year old Marine (once a marine always a marine) He sold off properties and left Virginia in Decembeer on his sail boat and will be gone about a year solo. H is the one on your left sitting on the pool.
The guy on the right is from California. His wife died 10 months ago so he bought a sailboat on the internet and picked it up in Florida. Went to sailing school for two weeks and took off for the Bahamas. His sory is quite wild with all his misadventures and problems. He is getting better at sailing and plans to be gone for a year solo.
An earlier picture of Rob and Lauren. Their sailboat is 50 years old and was built from one huge tree in New Zealand. Every bit of trim is all from the same tree. He sailed it from South Africa and they are live aboards.
Wednesday night was The Gulley Roosters at Green Turtle Club. We missed Pual with his air guitar. It was packed and several Sailors we met showed up for the party.
