Stop worrying about the potholes in the road and enjoy the journey. --Babs Hoffman WEB Site St Andrews State Park The morning was a bit cool and windy, and I was off for a bike ride, and “Computer Bob” was busy organizing the blog. Our first PM stop was to Diver’s Den, where we purchased snorkel equipment. Hopefully we will use it in Hawaii. We had some lunch at Scampy’s and then moved on to the beach. Kite flying was on our mind, but the wind had subsided. So we just walked, until Bob suddenly ran and jumped into the ocean. It was a bit nippy. Back at the campsite we had a light meal and some Super Bowl. ... read more

Today we drove to Idaho. It was a beautiful drive, because near us all the flat land was covered in snow, and beyond that we could see snow-covered mountains. Idaho is only 20 minutes from Logan. We passed the Pepperidge Farm factory in Richmond, Utah and went all the way to the town in Idaho where they filmed Napoleon Dynamite.... read more

Horses, cows, calves, bulls, clowns, cowboys and cowgirls. . . We attended the Los Fresnos PRCA 16th Annual Rodeo. We arrived a little early so walked around the carnival grounds and found some food booths. Kathy had a turkey leg and Will picked a briquette sandwich. The wrap the turkey leg in tinfoil and put it over a mesquite wood grill. The meat is so juicy and just melts in your mouth. We watched the hog judging while we ate. The Rodeo started about 3pm with the bull rides. Then came the roping events and the bucking horses. Last was the barrel racing the girls go. We watched world champions like Guy Allen, steer roper, Speed Williams, team roper, Monte Lewis, tie-down roper, Dustin Elliott, bull rider and Kelly Kaminski, barrel racer. The entertainment was Allen ... read more

The Panhandle of Florida’s West coast, the forgotten coast “Wherever there is a human being there is an opportunity for kindness”--- Seneca We decided to bike today. The morning was cool so we biked out of the park some 4.8 miles and then into the town of St. George. It was sunny and a great day to bike. We stopped at some real estate offices to check on all the signs we saw. We discovered most of the signs were for rentals and the other were investments, an ocean front lot goes for one million, so much for our thoughts of getting a little place on the beach. We can’t complain the state park will always be there, I hope. Our trip to the end of the island ran into a private gated community, bikers ... read more

We have moved on board. We moved Paper Moon to a neighbors dock. We have rented house for $900 a week. We are experimenting with rentals. It will also show us what actually living in the boat will need. Trying to get ready to go sailing for a few months or maybe a couple of years, maybe the Caribbean.... read more
