We have been working on LaLeLu almost every weekend this year (2007) - getting things ready for our Bahamas trip in May/June. This past weekend it was time for a sanity break. We motored out to a nearby spoil island, just north of the power lines on the Banana River and anchored out for an overnight. The kids had fun playing on the beach, collecting shells - despite the surprise of finding many were home to crabs or snails. We had plenty of sun and the new solar panels were keeping the batteries at a full charge. Chris dove the prop on Sunday and was surprised to see that our zinc (a sacraficial piece of metal that protects the important metals) had somehow fallen off. Bummer - hope it hasn't been off too long. In the afternoon on Sunday we slowly motored back to harbortown. A boat full of coasties escorted us the entire way, and even went into the marina. We thought for sure they were going to board/inspect us, but surprisingly they didn't. Perhaps we were just lucky, but certainly slapping the correct/current registration sticker on while they weren't looking didn't hurt.

We got the idea for our blog from you guys. We loved your blog, so we attempted to start our own. I really like Park's also. We are counting the days until we leave for the Bahamas. We will enjoy spending time with you guys. See you soon!
