It was cold when we pulled in to the Narragansett Bay, note the two pics of Gary and I bundled up

stadium near NY airport (names later when Gary can give me them)

Gary and I woke up at 3:20 this morning as the rain started. I got up and covered the electronics in case we had a leak (in case?!) . Then Gary got up and put the computer on to check the weather and see if any changes had taken place. The forecaster said "light rain" and thats what we got....... mixed in with the downpour. We did go back to bed, but when Gary started moving around again at 5:30 I guessed that he was antsy to get going. After almost 20 years together I'm a clever guesser. We're concerned about getting weather stuck a day from home. So we are on the road again.....early ......very early.

We traveled all day in typical New England style. It was gray and raw out.

Stats: We arrived this Thursday afternoon to friends and family waving from shore.

So .......here we are. It's been an amazing trip. It was sometimes uncomfortable, inconvenient, downright painful and even boring. Other times we saw things that you could only witness from a boat. We've watched dolphins by the score, huge schools of fish, sharks meander under the boat, alligators wait and birds of many exotic types fly over our bow. But the best thing I've witnessed was how people from all walks of life and social class worked together, supported one another and broke bread at the end of the day. So many wonderful people. Sometimes we helped them and in turn the experience helped us become better human beings. We also met wonderful people through sharing our blog. You've laughed at our foolishness, got scared for us at times, and supported us through out. Thank you so much.

Gary wants me to continue blogging. I feel that this trip deserves a blog by itself. Perhaps I'll start another separate blog and do family update kinda things. I haven't decided. I may just enter a post every once in a while, yeah that sounds right.

The VICTORIA is an old wood boat that will be a part of our family forever through the time spent and experiences we've had on her. We'll continue to patch and repair her till it is no longer prudent. But that sad time hasn't come yet . We praise God for allowing us to take this trip, for walking beside us and watching over us when we got in trouble or hurt and for whispering in Garys ear telling him to either travel or wait. Thank you Lord for providing us with a safe passage home.

We're HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Keep us in your prayers, your in ours
