Tavernier, FL To Titusville, FL 5/29 - 6/1
YAHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!! P'tit Louis finally next to us, under sail on our way to Titusville! Leaving here was the first time that our 2 ships traveled together to a new port. We did not have Dave for this part of the journey because he was crewing for Nathalie and Olivier, and due to the fact that we were short handed, Gina joined us for this trip.
P'tit Louis leading a pack of unknown boats up the Intracoastal Waterway. Just thought it was a neat shot...
~P'tit louis again, the boys and Dave were aboard during this day sail up the waterway. They had loads of chocolate, and we got boared...... Bored?? No! Board! Check this out.....
Tamer has always wanted to see what would happen if you were to attempt water skiing with a sheet of plywood and a sailboat going a whopping 7 knots..... You know what they say about a genius mind don't cha? Yah, I understand, neither do I :-)
I could not believe that with just a little skeg screwed into the bottom, you could actually get some air! As soon as I can figure out a way to shrink all our short videos, you will have to look in the archives for this series. They were awesome! It was so wonderful to see Tamer not working and enjoying the "Free & Easy" lifestyle!
I was not willing to be scared to death in the alligator infested water, but of course, Gina was!! She had a wonderful time, and along with Tamer saved me some rationing on fresh water for their daily showers ...... Oh wait, I guess that will make more sense when I get the video up :-)
We rafted up to P'tit Louis, and had only about enough time to grab the camera, scan the horizon, and the shuttle was off! What an amazing sight!! It was surprising how fast it was done and over, but remarkable to be there for such a kewl event. It was great to get to see it up close, and NOT have to spend 2 hours in bumper to bumper traffic getting off of the island and back to the mainland from the launch area.
Enjoying a "shuttle cocktail". Our wonderful and dear friends, WE MISS YOU!!!!!!!!!! Cannot wait until Fall!!
Drake, as always, doing tricks at the marina office, so that I can take his picture... He is definitely the daredevil of the family!
Our newly married (at the Frisbetarian Wedding) friends Leonard and Julie, are finishing up some small details on their steel boat in Titusville. It was really wonderful to have free use of their car, and to have showers included in our $5.00/day fee for the dinghy dock. Nathalie and I were able to get some major provisioning done with the car, and that was great!
Thanks you guys, and we will be sailing out of Titusville together in November :-)

A beautiful bird at the top of my mast. I awoke to a group of 3 of these playing around a small group of boats in the anchorage in Titusville. They would take turns dive bombing each other for their spot at the top of the mast. It was super fun to sit quietly on the deck and watch the way that the played and communicated. At some point in that 10 minutes or so, the boys woke up, and got to watch some of it with me.

Those pics of Tamer and Gina surfing were awesome. You know that seeing the Space Shuttle go up in person is pretty special there is only like a dozen more scheduled to be launched ever.
