New friends old friends

Where did this last week go? It seems like it was just yesterday that we were celebrating an early Christmas with Doug and Tammy last Sunday and here it is, another Sunday later. Where does the time go? Gypsies left Monday for the yard and Stephanie and I ran a ton of errands and did alot of catch up maintenance Monday and Tuesday. Wednesday I drove over to the yard where Gypsies was on the hard and helped with wax on, wax off so they could get out of the yard on schedule. (I'll do anything for a free lunch) Gypsies in the Palace is looking beautiful with her new bottom paint and wax job. Last night we invited our new neighbors, Bob and Theresa on Theresa, a 41 year old DeFever from California, and Gregg and Karen on a 42 foot Sea Ray. They have been buddy boating for a time. Seems like an odd pair of boats to be traveling together, a 46 foot 41 year old 7 knot DeFever and a 42 foot go fast sea Ray. Just goes to show you, It's not about the boats, it's the people. We had a great time with them, talking about everyones' adventures. Gregg and Karen are going to leave for the Bahamas in three weeks for their first trip there. They are so excited! (like a couple of kids) I remember how excited we were on our first trip there. We showed them pictures of our trip to the Exumas and now they are really excited. Who wouldn't be if they were headed for Paradise. We gave them a few tips for their trip. Throw away your watch, put your cell phone in a drawer, take off your shoes, put on your beads, and go on "Island time mon". We can't wait to get back. We made plans to get together with them again. (maybe this time I will remember to take pictures) Today we expect to see Chuck and Pat Berry arrive, Wednesday Joe and Salty on Sea Pearl, and on Saturday Norm and Vicki on Tide Hiker. Let's get this party started!
