And you thought I was crazy


This guy just finished paddling the ICW from Florida to Baltimore in a kayak.

The really funny thing is that he averaged 30 miles a day. That's about what I average too. I feel like such a slacker.

Larry & Joey


We bought lobsters and steamed them on the boat. I wanted to name my lobster Louie, but Amy said that Lou of Lou & Meg wouldn't appreciate it.

We had hoped to make it to Cuttyhunk today, but the weather was deteriorating, so we cut the trip short. Also, Amy got seasick as soon as we left the harbor this morning.

Cousins


Many thanks to Mary Ann and Fran for taking in a couple of salty sailors. (And to my Uncle Bob for hooking us up with the connection.) Mary Ann and I are distant relatives who probably never met before. We really appreciated their generosity. (And I appreciate how much better Amy smells after a hot shower.)

Dinner! What, no fish?


Thor the dog. Amy thinks he would look good on our boat. But I think he's a little large for our little catamaran.


Pic of us disembarking from the two person kayak we borrowed. Amy thinks I should get a larger kayak like theirs as a dingy.
