Well we made it back home last night with a grand daughter in tow. Kayla from San Francisco came back with us and will be here until the 25th of July when she will head back home and enjoy the rest of the summer as she gets ready for school.
It was a sweet and sour trip. I did
have a chance to see my daughter and her family it was a fast visit in Paskenta, CA. I drove up last Monday and spent a couple of hours with her before she had to go back to work. It was great to catch up and see the other two grandkids. They are special and I'm in hopes I can get them back here with Pat and I so we can play on the ocean together. Time will tell.
I also had the chance to spend a little time with my best friend Dan Palmer,
http://www.BrotherDanPalmer.com, http://www.NothingBetterThanThis.com. He's a great guy. We used to play together in the 80's at clubs in Tahoe, Reno, Vegas and Arizona. It was good times. Road trips. People, places and things. We've played since and I'm in hopes we will play in the future too. He is battling with Hep C right now and needs a lot of help. I will be putting up a link for anyone that can pitch in a donation or two. I don't usually do things like this, but he is in treatment and is an entertainer. Which translates into no insurance. It's up to us all now to help where we can. I'll let you know about this in more detail later. I'm not sure how to do it myself. But I want to help. If anyone has ideas, let me know.
Then we got to visit my 87 year old Dad.
He's doing pretty good. Happy and comfortable. His kidneys are failing and is in Hospice. A good choice for him and all in all he's doing great. We love him a lot and I thank him for helping me get into boating. What a guy. Thanks Dad, you've cost me a lot of money and made my life worth living.
I've got to get ready for our annual 4th of July sail. We head out, catch sunset, anchor and watch the fireworks off the pier of Fort Myers Beach. It's a great night if the weather holds and we look forward to it every year.
If you want to catch the next 4th of July sail, just book early. I had a lot of people that wanted to go, but it's a first come first serve thing and a very special night.
The sailing is great down here right now. It's tropical, but nice. Just call and I'll get you on the books. Sailing in Fort Myers Beach. Sunset Sails, Half Day Charters in Fort Myers Beach, there all fun, all the time.
We are getting ready to pull Star of Orion out and clean and paint the bottom so there will be more tech stuff coming up on this blog, so keep on logging on. I'll see ya'll soon...
