Charleston Trip

2009-10-18T22:06:00.003-04:00

On October 7th Laura and I departed for Charleston South Carolina. We had invited Marilyn and Ray to drive down and spend a few days with us on the boat. We stopped and anchored in St. Simon Sound the first night and Port Royal sound the second night on the way up arriving in Charleston on the 9th.
We had a great time going out especially our night listening to music at Buddy Roes. Weather is turning cooler but we plan on staying until the 25th when we will head back to St. Augustine in time for the Florida Georgia game.
Erin, Cole and Denise are coming to visit for a few days latter this week before we head south. More photos of Charleston to follow

We took an afternoon to visit the Citadel and to see some of America's fine young men and women willing to repesent our country

Fall in Utah

2009-09-30T21:55:00.000-04:00

On September 22nd we flew into Salt Lake City and traveled down to Sevier County to spend a week to see the fall colors and visit friends and relatives. Our host made sure we had a full schedule as we traveled to St. George to watch Annie at the remarkable Tuachan theater to camping and four wheeling on Monroe mountain in Fish Lake National Forest. Along the was we took a day trip four wheeling in Casto canyon which is near Zion and Bryce canyons in central Utah.
We thought you might enjoy a few photos of our time spent of Southern Pearl. It was a treat for us as it was quite a contrast from our summer trips to the Bahamas.

Visiting with Virginia

It was a joy to spend time with Virginia as we had not seen her in quite a few years. There is something about living in the desert mountains of Utah that keeps you young.

Boating on Fish Lake

2009-09-30T21:34:00.000-04:00

What a treat to be on the water at 9000 feet. Quite different than what we are accustomed to. Ranger Rasmussen was kind enough to rent a pontoon boat and take us out on Fish Lake for a cruise and a few photo ops. The fall colors contrasted by the dark clear blue water and a clear sky was beautiful.

Nippers

2009-09-21T10:38:00.001-04:00

Nippers is the happening place on Guana. At least on the weekends and during the season. Since we were there during the slowest time of year we had the place almost to ourselves
