Looking Ahead to Another Cruise


We're going on another cruise! This time we're taking a Big Boat, the Amsterdam , owned by Holland America. We made the decision recently to add that to our summer/fall outings. We have had to limit our own cruising, so we will have two weeks viewing Alaska from the deck while someone else drives! Stay tuned...Virginia and Jim

Waiting at the dock


The Karen Marie is waiting at the dock. We did get out for a short overnight at Coronet Bay right after we got the boat home. We went with Rosie, Sandpiper, Kanowe(George Smith) and Anita Lee for their shakedown cruises. It was fun to help out. We had good apps and drinks on the float before dinner. Those power boaters all have chairs, so we threw them out on the dock and Janet had a table and we were had a floating cocktail party! Everyone got practice docking and using their dinghies, either motor or rowing, and we made it home in time before a low low tide. Short and sweet. The next Thursday the kids arrived for the 4th, so it was a good break.

We had the July 4th bash and moved on the boat for two nights, then moved into our camp trailer for one night before the guest room was available. Then on the 6th we had our home back to ourselves. It was a long 6 days since Jim re-injured himself on the 2nd. We are trying new meds now and physical therapy, and wishing we were out on the boat. More later.
