March 10, 2017  1.3 Colorado Cat Voyage Date

Today is a special day.  Amanda and Ben James and Kevin Rahmann joined us for a few days. 

Since Amanda is here the shortest amount of time, she does the blog tonight,  So here is Amanda...

I finally know what I want to be when I grow up...retired! I could get used to floating about in a boat, glass of wine in my hand and surrounded by friends and family, pretty quickly. Ben and I drove down this afternoon, meeting my dad in the dinghy at the local grocery store (the grocery store had a dock!). Then we "set sail" for the Colorado Cat where my mom and Terri were waiting.. Since then it's been a lovely evening of visiting, enjoying the seabreeze, and dreaming of the adventures that await. I'm so excited for my parent's journey, proud of the courage that it took to actually undertake this voyage, and envious of their time together at sea. A quick turnaround for me, since I have to go back to the real world tomorrow, but Ben will be accompanying the explorers as they head south and hopefully around the "horn" (what my mom calls the tip of Florida where they turn north again). I'm definitely looking forward to a longer cruise next time.
