Sunday - November 20

Today was just ideal weather for boating.....warm sunshine and we drove the boat from the upper deck off and on!   AWESOME!    Did run thru some rough stuff and beam seas for about 1/2 hour on the Indian River.    Played rummikube along the way and read (boys have their assignments to keep up with).    We went 95 miles and are now settled in the Harbortown Marina off Merritt Island (near Cape Canaveral).  

"I'm hungry" was a common phrase we heard off and on today - all this fresh air makes these boys wanna eat, eat, eat!

Cool Dude

After settling in, the boys rode bikes and then hosed off the boat - got these little slaves
 "swabbin' the deck"!
Our "deck swabbers"

We went to Nautical Spirits for supper here at the marina and then back to Catrina for dominoes won by Grandpa!    Ryan sent a video (on YouTube) of his squadron and what they're doing and he's in it - so neat and made his Mama so PROUD!

Pat: Just sent an email before reading the blog. Looked like everyone was having a great day and I know Drew thought he was big stuff driving the boat. He loves to do that with their boat on Lake James. Can we see Ryan's video? Would love to see it if possible. If so please tell me how to find it on UTUBE. Judy

Hi Mark and Pat, it's Kevin from Chicago. Enjoy reading your notes! I'm curious as to what your cruising speed is? one engine or two when cruising? full throttle? Also, what about fuel consumption?

Have fun.
