Happy Birthday Patty. Great to have something really special to remember this day about. AND congratulations to you both for a trip well done. Oh, yes, there were some bumps and scrapes along the way, but that is just like life, and we learn to adapt, overcome and press on, OR we shrivel up, evaporate and blow away like the dust. You two and Daydream are fine examples of the way life should be lived. It has been great following along. OH, and Pat, don't give up on the blog until you're back home. The road is part of the trip. Wishing you all the best on that part too. (I'd love to drive it for you 'cause for me, the road is a great part of the trip. Stay safe, and watch the weather. Good travel windows are still a good thing.

Congratulations and Happy Birthday Patty!! Well done!
Bumps and scrapes?? I don't know anybody that does not have some in any 8 month span. You can have them sitting at home or on an adventure. You chose the adventure! They will fade and blend into the fabulous memory of that adventure.
I've enjoyed looking forward to your blog - what to do now??

Congratulations all 4 of you. Enjoyed reading every word. Think Baxter deserves a "Great Pooper" flag as well.

Pat, that mustache on Daydream is proudly earned. You may want to consider having it bronzed for posterity. You all did great, and the cat was NEVER off the boat. That is a pretty accomplished "boat cat" for sure. Be safe coming home. They are talking about feet of snow in the PNW mountains this week.

Pat & Patty,
We enjoyed your posts and meeting you guys in Pensacola, and picking your brains re best practices on a small boat.
Hope to see you in Washington state one day on our boat! Godspeed and following winds on your trailering home.
We're in Washington, DC for a week doing the tourist thing, 8 miles walking today. Then Acela to NYC for a week touristing, 2 days on return to turn around and prep the boat for trailering to Key West for 5 weeks...retirement is so busy we wouldn't have time to work if we wanted to!

A few days late, but Pat and Patty finally get to make a proper "toast" for Patty's birthday and the crossing of their wake.
That evening, Patty could order what her heart's desire at a fine restaurant for the birthday celebration.
The loop behind them, the Andersons are planing their next adventures! |

We had a wonderful time at Camp Thataway with Bob and Marie each of the THREE times we stopped there - once on the tow down, once in the boat on the Loop, and once on the tow home! Thanks, Bob and Marie! Baxter says "woof" to Angel!
We left Pensacola yesterday and made it across Alabama, Mississippi and most of Louisiana (we stopped at a casino 4 miles short of the Texas border). Three state in one day. Now we are in Texas, and it is looking like ONE state in THREE days, or probably more like two and a half days! |
