Schedule Update

I hope that everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving full of good food and good times with family. After coming back home and working for the week prior to Thanksgiving, I drove down to Panama City Beach where Kenn and the Barnacle II were berthed to spend Thanksgiving week. The original plan was that Kenn and Barney, the boat owner, would continue on the journey to Fort Myers or Key West after November 26th.

We all know how the best laid plans sometimes go...Barney had a rush of business to take care of by the end of the year, so he and Vickie made the decision to leave the boat where she is until sometime after Christmas. They intend to spend a couple of weeks on her after Christmas, then plan the rest of the trip for early 2008.

All of this transpired while I was driving 800 miles to see the hubby, so I was pleasantly surprised when I got there on Saturday afternoon (17th) to hear that Kenn would be going back home with me. We were able to spend a little time sightseeing, but most of our time was spent on putting Barnacle 'to bed' so that she could survive safely in her temporary home for over a month unattended. We had a lot of time to reflect on the journey that got her there and enjoy reliving some of the highlights by looking at pictures and discussing our experiences. It was really an awesome trip.

Happy Holidays to you and yours.
