Crossing our wake – December 11, 2013 about 3:40 PM

Just a few minutes behind our estimated time, we pulled up to the fuel dock in St. Andrews Marina.  The winds had finally died and we could make better speed – even the cats were excited.  On the dock was good friend Jody who jumped aboard as we pumped out and provided the much needed ride to the car where we were greeted by Patti's "Welcome Home" banner. We are so grateful to the many friends who helped and supported us on the home front this year.

On a beautiful, calm and sunny afternoon we eased up to the dock – tied off with the help of yet another fellow mariner and enjoyed the welcome of a familiar port after more than eleven months afloat.

A short post script as to why it has taken several days to get this posted.  We hauled the cats home after sucking a few dead roaches into the vacuum cleaner along with a very small amount of dust and proceeded to reactivate our cable connections – then we had to reattach all the wires we had hastily disconnected last January – a few parts were missing and it took numerous trips between the house and the boat to get all the parts back together just reminding us that life on land can be a challenging as life on the boat – just different.
