Well we have been on the boat for almost two weeks..and it was definitely the right choice. Despite the heat and the effects of radiation it has  been very relaxing. We thought that we would get a dish for T.V. but it turns out neither one of us miss it...it turns out that books are just as entertaining.. I can sit in the cockpit and watch all of the goings on around us. Last night we were sitting in the cockpit and a large group of party people arrived on a boat across from us. One of them swam over to our boat to tell us that he had learned to sail on our boat almost 20 years ago! He is 48 now married with children and lives in Minnesota, but has always been in love with the Pegasus. He keeps a  picture of our boat on the all of his office!  He stayed and visited for two hours.and he told us of some of his adventures..including sailing out 700 miles and then sailing back!.We gave him a tour of some of our improvement,and told him he  could sail with us anytime as he comes out here quite often.

I am feeling pretty good..but will be happier this week when the last of my radiation burns heal up.I definitely don't have too much energy, but I think that even that will improve this week. Tom is feeling fine and does not seem to have any ill effects from his kidney stone.

We are going out to David and Maureen's for dinner tonight..so that will be a nice outing. I haven't seen them too much since they got back from Bolivia.

  4. Glad you are enjoying being on the boat. Pegasus is such a comfortable boat. It is always fun to run into someone who knew your boat before you did. Hope you have a great time on your trip north to celebrate Cassidy's birthday. Maybe it will be cooler there. MJ
