June 2010 .Hutchinson Island.Florida.
Hi all,
Jane and I are now the proud owners of a luxury motorcoach. A 2000 Beaver Marquis Amethyst.
We are planning a trip to North Carolina in July to look at Real Estate. Then continuing north to visit family in New York State and Ontario before heading west to Washington State and down the west coast to Los Angeles. Possibly leaving the coach in New Mexico with a friend of Jane's who owns and RV Park and flying back to Two Pelicans in October.
We are going to England for my nieces wedding in October after which hopefully the weather next winter will be more amenable and we can spend next winter cruising the Bahamas,spending a month or two anchored at George Town ,Great Exuma.
Two Pelicans is happily docked right behind the coach in the photo. She is being hauled out on June 14th for an insurance survey and much needed maintenance. She will remain on the hard for Hurricane season.
Jane and I just returned from a fantastic 3 weeks in the UK including a 3 day trip on the Eurostar to Paris for my birthday !! Champagne at the mid point under the English Channel traveling at over 100 mph....and again the next day at the top of the Eiffel Tower were part of the ambiance !
The condo is still unsold. We are re listing it with a new broker next week......que sera sera !
That's it for now........
