Heading for the Cold

What a great stay in Marathon. The people at City Marina were great. Thanks Ann. I have met so many new friends that have became family missing you all already.
We left Marathon on May 11th. Jimmy, Tom, and Blair heading for south gulf cove. Had a great 3 day trip stopping at Marco Island , Naples and Ft Myers. Great time had by all. We hauled Esperanza at America Boat yards its a little more money then the east coast boat yards but it is well protected by a lock in fresh water. Plus its just down the road from Jim. On a air plain home May 21 were Carol was waiting to pick me up. Rain and 43f on Sunday the same Monday. Tuesday woke up with a cold, would take the sweating over the shaking any day.
After 2497 mile's Esperanza needs a rest. and  new bottom paint. Planning to be back in Oct. to continue our travels.

  2. I know exactly how you feel about the people at Marathon City Marina. I was with you for 10 days and met so many great people who are so relaxed.It was an experienc you can only do and not explain. (Paradise)
    I arrived home with 5 C temp and rain. I hope we can do this again in the future. Keep in touch and keep the Kleenex close.
