People

Today was so amazing. We were unable to move the boat due to weather, but it was such a great day. We cleaned, did some schoolwork and Tom and Thomas walked a long way to the grocery store. The highlight of our time today was the people that we have met.  All the boaters were weathered in , so we mingled and visited.  There are truly amazingly wonderful people out there.  It is no accident that we were able to spend time today with a wonderful man who has truly taken his boat all over the world.  He was telling us of his time in Alaska, and Tom's eyes lit up.  OK. So I guess this means this trip is going well enough that he is already thinking of another?!!  I don't know,  I have ALWAYS wanted to go to Alaska, so  I am in! !!!
We also met another amazing man that was in the military for almost 20 years and was the engineer on a nuclear submarine!! Boy was he fascinating to talk to.  I love getting to know new people and hearing their stories.... everyone has one, and it is fun to discover it!  Anther couple nearby is also from Michigan, and she is from Gulf Shores , Alabama.  How fun!

The kids had recess in the hold today!! Flashlights in the bowels of the boat, laughter and discovery were big today.. Who knew such a small space could provide such big adventure?  It is bigger under there than the picture implies!!
