It's good to be here with Brad & Stacie. The grand kids are keeping us busy and making us laugh. The weather is wonderful and it will be a trip that is too short... Again.
We headed out last Saturday. In fact, if you guys want to check out some cheap airfare to our neck of the woods, check out http://www.VisitDirectAir.com. Now they don't fly everywhere, but we get a flight from Punta Gorda to Myrtle Beach, round trip, for two, for $200.00. it's a good deal. Anyway, check out the site and see if they get close to your city. 
In fact you can save a bundle, if they get close to you by renting a car and driving the distance to the closest airport and then dropping off the car flying and doing the same thing back. Crunch the numbers and see. Your tip of the week on travel.
Here's a small picture of my two Grand Daughters up here. Kind of a rare photo of both of them together and not knocking each others block off and smiling at the same time. Great kids. Well worth the travel time.
We'll be here until Wednesday afternoon and then back to Fort Myers Beach to keep those charters rolling on the Gulf. Sure I'm in my slow season, but it gives me time to sail and play as well as clean and maintain Star of Orion. She's such a great boat. I'm in hopes that the water is up enough in the channels to get her up for a bottom job here pretty soon. She could use a few coats of fresh bottom paint. I amazed that the paint lasted as long as it did. Just over 2 years and that's with thousands of miles of water flowing under her keel. Not bad.
Just a note... Alex Dorsey, (http://www.ProjectBlueSphere.com), is heading out from Fort Myers to go north to Chesapeake for the summer. There's a going away party for him in Fort Myers this Thursday. We talked the other day and I'm glad I'll be there to send him off. He's a great guy. Just go join his site and read his blog to catch up. In fact you should go back to the beginning and catch up with his life. Very interesting read and buy his DVD's. You'll thank me next time you see me. The plan is next November he's heading to South America. Follow his adventures at his site.
Well that catches you up for now. Call early for charters in Fort Myers. It's summer and it's the rainy season so I watch the weather closely and plug in the charters when we can get out and have some fun without having a light show. Sunset Sails in Fort Myers Beach are getting canceled a lot, so I have moved my half day sails up to 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. It's a pretty good bet we an get out and get a sail in. It's tropical so we may even stop and take a dip while we are out. Sailing in Fort Myers Beach is still a wonderful experience, so call now.
