Our Halloween weekend in St. Petersburg was an amazing time with friends....catching up and making new memories. Our friend Bob (Capt. Bivalve) had the Halloween spirit! We met at one of our favorite bars in St pete, Moon Under Water and he brought his costume along. Usually a deeply philosophical person, his costume beckoned a different side. See attached. Perhaps it was just a glorified beer glass holder...what fun! We also caught up with our old dockmates and had a wonderful barbecue...Our generous hosts were ,Jeff and Elise who made it a great weekend. This is where the vaacinations come in....they are both nurse practitioners...extremely knowledgeable, capable and always willing to share their knowledge. They certainly convinced us to get our Swineflu vaccines...we were not smart enough to get them in St. Pete....after we turned our rental car back in, in fact one day later and about 20 phone calls later, we found the only supply at the County Health dept in jacksonville...2 buses later (2 hours later)we found ourseleves at the Health Dept and recieved our vaccines...2 buses later(2 hours later) we were back at the Marina.
Mission accomplished. The only catch was when we got on the 2nd bus going to the health dept we overheard a person talk about her chills, aches etc. We were concerned that on the way to getting our flu shots we would get the flu....fortunately we feel fine 24 hours later. Thanks to everyone for a fabulous weekend. Miss you guys!

Hi guys!
We're glad you had a great time in St. Pete (we did, too, and it was hard to leave), but we're eagerly awaiting the arrival of Freedom and Blue Blaze. We're currently sitting at Cat Cay, waiting out the weather. The wind is cranking so hard we had to shut down the wind generator. We found great rum prices in Bimini, so we're all set for when we next see you.
Take care! Anne and Chris
Just touching base... for some reason internet is working, and receiving e-mails, but none of my outgoing e-mails will go...
Our SSB is working a little better. We heard Chris Parker at 0630 EST on 4045. We also heard East coast Waterway net on LSB at 0745, but could not hear Cruishiemers at 0830 on 8152 or Chris Parker on 8104. If you want to call us, probably best after Chris on 4045.
Hope all is well!
Hi John and Roberta,
We need to ask a favor: we popped a sensor bulb line on our refrigeration and need to order a new expansion valve. We should be able to order it via R-parts, but if we could get it shipped to you at jacksonville (like the electrical part) that would be great. We are able to send e-mail but can leave messages here.
Please monitor Chris Parker's broadcast, SSB freq 4045 at either 0630 or 0800, and we will hail you after his broadcast. We were able to hear that freq very well this morning.
Thanks!
He he. Who is that weirdo in the box?
Hi John and Roberta!
Wonderful accounting! Enjoy reading about your adventures! See you soon!
