We showed up for the cruisers daily volleyball game. I had this pictured as a few of us knocking the ball around with an occasional “not to bad maybe we should keep score” moment. Score was kept. I should have realized what was about to go down when one of the players said to Lily, […]
We have been practicing our Spanish by chatting with Milagro. Milagro is Will and Molly’s nanny while Scott and Tracy are busy managing Nana Juana. Milagro is 17 and is studying to become an attorney. She is from Aldea, which is a little way down the river and has lived in Honduras in the past. […]
We spent the weekend having some fun with Lauren, Floyd and Archer of T Maru. We are so glad Michelle George made sure we met up with the Gallegos. Saturday night, we had some sangria in the cockpit while they caught us up on their fun day at the Dry Tortugas. We sat around and […]
We put the new boat through quite a bit this weekend – our first family sail. Toni and Danny came down from Oklahoma for a weekend visit and Michelle joined us for the fun. Saturday was sunny with a light breeze. We had a big breakfast at Skippers to fortify us for boat handling. Back […]
I got these great pics below from Czech & Mate this week. Jerry and Debbie are fellow Oklahoma-water rats turned ocean sailors. They are from Drumright, OK, but we met them in Kemah where they bought their Hylas ‘44. Jerry had chartered a Hylas ’44 and, as he tells it, it was love at first […]
We spend the weekend catching up with the Lindsey’s – Scott, Sheri, Owen and Ana. We and the Lindsey’s shared some fun times back at Watergate Marina in Kemah. They watched us pull away for our first trip on Capricious in 2009. Scott also came and crewed for us upon our return trip to Kemah. […]
> Toni’s at the helm during the Gulf Stream crossing. She’s probably thinking, “I used my vacation days for this??” The crossing was wet and a little wild. Randall kept telling me not to get off course or the current would shoot us past Freeport and then we’d be back to Brunswick. We pulled into […]
> Michelle often describes herself as a gypsy. She travels. She avoids buying stuff, opting instead for a life of experience rather than things. She works intermittantly, saving furiously for the next trip. She is drawn to new people everywhere she goes and takes up with them as old friends. Her lastest experience – 53 […]
>Larry Joe is an outlaw. What laws have been compromised, we didn’t ask. His stories were too enthralling to interrupt. Most of the time, you hear a stranger’s stories and must picture the characters involved. But Larry Joe carries a little photograph album in his back pocket. He pulled out the tattered little album proudly […]
> This little piggy went skim boarding… Jake’s toes have always looked a little, well, funny. Today at the beach, he took a crack at skim boarding and wipedout. He looked down and the fourth little piggy was standing straight up. He calmly limped to Dad to show him the damage. Dad tried to push […]
