December 2023

 We spent December in Peace River between Punta Gorda and Port Charlotte. These old stomping grounds bring back so many memories of the days we were just starting out. 

The weather turned cold, the harbor was choppy, rough and unpleasant and it began raining alot. 

It was not as pleasant as we would have liked. 

Rather then buying each other Christmas presents, we decided to get tattoos.

And after that we sailed off the Marco Island.

Florida

Jimi got to the boat yard about a week before I did. He immediatly started finding problems with Sanibel and had to be moved in to the work yard. I flew in directly from Alaska the beginning of November.

We stayed int he work yard a additional week or so to get her all fixed up.

And we're off; going through the first lock.

We received sad new that my dear friend Jabet has passed away. She was one of a kind and will be missed.

Under sail.

 

Alaska

I was awared Artist of the Month at the Hansen G Dane Museum for the month od October.

Mom and Dad went with me to help set up.

I left for Alaska, therefore mom and dad will pick up what's left on October 31st.

Daniel and Chelsea asked if I would come to Alaska for two weeks to house and dog sit. They went to Las Vegas for a wedding and the SEMA show.

Brenda flew out to stay with me too. Lots of GIRL time with Cleo and Kodak.
