September - December 2017

Happy New Year to the dwindling number of people that actually read this any more.

Rhonda.  She's the one who convinced me to visit the hospital

We finally left Clayton, NY  for Oswego when a weather window popped up.  Clayton is also where I contracted something called cellulitis in my left leg.  Forever thanks to Rhonda at the city dock for helping us through that little experience.

After making it down the Erie Canal we had to hole up at Half Moon Marina on the Hudson for a few weeks waiting to see where the hurricanes were heading.   But we took advantage of that lull to visit New York City with Pat and Chip.  What a great time!

We also went to West Point and FDR's home.

After they passed we got down to Huckins boat yard on the Ortega River in Jacksonville.  While the boat was hauled we drove up to Wisconsin to see kids, grandkids, friends and of course doctors which are in Green Bay.  And once again we weren't able to linger in Green Bay and visit with Tim and Jill, our next neighbors when we lived in Suamico.

Back in Florida we moved the boat down to Hammock Beach Resort where we arranged for the kids and grandkids to have a condo for a week.  They got the cushy condo and we had three of the four boys with us on the boat every night.  7AM is really, really early in the morning.  Really early!

All the foibles, fun and experiences can be found here.  However I'm months behind on updating it.  But one of these days when we aren't so busy living on a boat as retired people. :-)
