LMAO Leroy, so many things come to mind, none of which I dare write. ;D ;D ;D

Laura out driving again. She looks pretty cold. Well from what I understand the sun came out and they have the sails up.

CharlieJ · January 23, 2010, 05:52:02 PM

We did, we did-we had sails up. Sun did come out and I have shorts and a short sleeve shirt on for the first time since Dec 3rd when we left to go to Texas.

We are on a mooring ball in Ft Myers Bch. First folks we met were from Palacios Tx-across the bay from us, and a friend of Grime's from Port O'Conner(where Grime lives)

nice place so far ;D

East mooring field at Ft. Meyers Beach.

CharlieJ · January 27, 2010, 08:52:50 AM

Dropped the mooring at 0700.

This being posted from about 4 mi out into the GOM. Main, jib, beam reaching at about 5 - 5 1/2 to a NE wind. Destination-Gordon Pass, Naples area. Beautiful sunny day but chilly- was 43 when we left-warms to 48 now.

Grog and thumbs up to you!

Thanks for the update.

Grime · January 27, 2010, 08:59:17 PM

Looks like they are snug as a bug in a rug in their new anchorage.

Naples is kinda out of your way- but a good place to rest from the winds...

CharlieJ · January 28, 2010, 07:30:04 AM

We're about 4 miles above Marco Island. plan to hang here for a day and do some fishing :)

Then stop to pick up a couple of things at the Winn-Dixie in Marco and out to the 10K Islands.

We'll probably be out of cell phone range for several weeks then.

Ahh, that should be nice, I hope the weather starts to treat you guys good for awhile, you deserve it!

Grime · January 28, 2010, 12:14:03 PM

Got these this morning from Laura. No note but why write when you are enjoying this so much.

Have a great time and looking forward to hearing all about 10,000 islands.

Grime · January 31, 2010, 09:05:24 AM

Happy Birthday Charlie.

A note and update from Laura.

We'll be heading up the Big Marco River on the rising tide tomorrow. Thought I might buy CJ a birthday dinner at Goodland before we head into the wilderness of the Ten Thousand Island

CharlieJ · January 31, 2010, 09:30:32 AM

Thanks David.

Gray and gloomy here this am. Cool north wind blowing. As L said, we are waiting for the tide. Some shoaling reported in the river just past the bridge and we want to run that channel on a rising tide- close to a 3 foot tide range here.

You guys are having the time of your lives!!! I wish I and Lorinda were there also. Marc

Frank · January 31, 2010, 10:33:13 AM

CJ...is it your birthday? If so...have a good one. 29 again? Hope Laura and you have a great day...gloomy weather or not. Have fun.

CharlieJ · January 31, 2010, 02:43:47 PM

Rofl 29? Yeah right- plus 40.

But thanks :D
