Wednesday, May 13th; we are docked! Indeed, a sucessful journey! It's been 14 days since we departed Ft. Lauderdale. We've navigated, caught big waves, got sick, cooked meals, laughed, worried (Ed only, not Lisa), transferred fuel, checked gages, added oil, cleaned heat exchangers, cleaned toilets and showers, cooked some more, drank some more, provisioned further when we got a chance, marveled at the beautiful scenery, checked charts, watched radar, checked depths, watched engine temperatures, drank some more, slept while being rocked to sleep, kept a watch schedule, looked for the red and green, thanked God for purchasing the great binoculars we found on sale, done laundry, cooked some more, drank some more, showered while doing our best to stand upright, and nightly thanked God for our many blessings and prayed for our families and friends.
Tomorrow, we "deboat" and head home; a place we haven't seen much.
Ed will go back to work (hopefully, if he still has a job) and Vince will go back to his family and work and Barry will go back to his daily schedule and Lisa....well, I will continue my attempt to get used to retirement and figure out what God has planned for me next.
The summer will be busy with doing a cosmetic interior remodeling to the boat, hiring artisens, upholsters, etc. while making the trip back and forth from Mooresville to Kentucky Lake (5 hours).
In the meantime, until we journey again, I am grateful for all of you who have followed us on our journey, prayed for us, thought of us and provided encouragement.
We will log on again in the future.
Gods blessings,
Lisa
