One After Another

Chores and boat projects that is.  With the departure day getting closer things were beyond crazy this weekend.  Making things even a tad more challenging was that the hubby had been sick since the last weekend and Friday morning I woke up sick.  We're considering buying stock in Sudafed, Vitamin C, and Benadryl.

My lovely work was nice enough to give us an early start (1/2 day) to the Memorial Day weekend.  So it was off work and to the house in Tomball to finish grabbing my cruising clothes and Kirby Vacuum.  Then driving the hour and 1/2 south to Kemah, where my handsome hubby was meeting me with a truck bed full from storage.  I was very proud of my hubby, aka "The Packrat", who threw away 2 dock carts piled high of stuff.  There were a few moments of "Honey, you know that isn't going to fit on the boat."  But overall it was a successful dumpster filling afternoon/evening, and we did let him keep a few sentimental items (that will be packed away in storage).

We had originally planned to have a little night out on the town with steaks and dancing.  But decided we would rather have dinner with our friends on Barefoot Babe, Captain Jim and Elaine.  I don't think that chili cheese dogs have ever been better!  And of course we had a few Barefoot Babes to go along with dinner (Jim and Elaine's signature boat drink).

  2. ICW for now. Jim told us there were 2 fronts coming through, so Raymond decided that would be best. We should be anchoring in Houma on Thursday night and be in Pensacola at least thru June 11th. I have a lot of traveling to do for work, so i'm meeting him whenever I can and he has a guy from the marina traveling with him right now. We'll keep y'all posted.

  3. Ooh, how exciting! Congratulations! But here is the important question - when are y'all coming down our way?

  4. Hahaha, that'll be at least a year or so. We'll do Keys later in June and Miami/Bahamas in July. This next year will be east coast. I want to do summer 2013 in Maine. So it'll be a while before we make it back down. We might could be persuaded to visit y'all though ;)
