SPLASH! Yahoo, we are in the salty sea, dawgs! We lauched yesterday and are doing some last minute touches. Satisfied, yes. Exhausted, absolutely. Excited, beyond measure. We will spend about a week in the creek just off Beaufort Town NC USA, then start heading south to warmer weather.

America has been good to us, we had some awesome road trips, Disney, Florida, all the way down the East coast to Miami. Also up the East coast to Annapolis and Washington DC. We all enjoyed visiting the Smithsonian Museums, what a great gift to the public.

Most importantly, we have made some amazing, kind, welcoming, generous, helpful friends here, without whom life during the refit would have been lonely and pretty boring. John and Lisa W, John and Rachel, Steve and Jess, Will and Jenny, John and Lisa D, Paul and Twyla, The Bag Lady Jessie, Karmen, Steve and James, Peta and Clif, Will, Troy… and all the fun loving kiddies that came with these couples, WE ARE GOING TO MISS YOUUU! Thank you all so much, we have made many wonderful, unforgetable memories together and we hope to see you in the near future when you come and visit us in the tropical destination of your choice!
