December 10, 2014. Well, I have been rebuilding all the winches on the boat. I have done 5, the really big ones, now i have 4 more small ones left, and, I have to install my alarm system.

December 31, 2014. Boat is ready. We are ready. Let’s go already. I guess I am not a good blogger. I don’t want to bore you with the mundane day to day. Me cleaning rust and corrosion off electrical connections is not interesting stuff. So here are the highlights of the past month. We got folding bikes. They are very cool. We also put up a christmas tree. Crossing the Gulf Stream. One thought on “Ready and Waiting”. Jim and Penny Vaughan. January 16, 2015 at 5:45 pm. Leave a Reply Cancel reply.

February 22, 2015. Last week I was in Denver, had to go for work. Nice city. The Rocky Mountains are beautiful. Since I was there for work, I didn’t have time do any hiking, next time. Upon returning from Denver, the new company owners laid off half our staff and closed the Denver, Boston and New Jersey offices, and told the remaining staff to work from home. I did not get laid off, but some of my close friends, that I had worked with for almost 10 years, did. Leave a Reply Cancel reply.

My first visitor | Sailing Stella Blue

August 29, 2014. Last week I had my first visitor. Maria came down to visit. The first few days she was here we took a few day trips, as the weather in Charlotte Harbor wasn’t the best. So we went to Universal Studios. Which was fun. We also spent a day at Fort Myers Beach, and another day at Venice Beach. Once the weather forecast cleared up, we took Stella down to Cabbage Key. These pics were taken on the ride out to cabbage key. Stella Blue anchored off Cabbage Key. We took this pic from the dingy.

January 17, 2015. The reason I went to Boston, was because the company I work for was just sold. I am going to have to make a few more trips to Boston. Getting to Boston is not easy from the islands, we had to take 3 different planes. Because it is so difficult, we have decided to head over to Miami for a bit, just until things get settled with the new management. Leave a Reply Cancel reply.
