Majuro Again

We arrived! Safe but tired.
Spent a nice afternoon with Ted and Andrea. They took us to a pancake dinner at a local church.
I think it was Fat Dinner,where you get rid of the stuff you shouldn't eat during Lint.
The boat is OK, a little moldy smelling, but we are working on it.

Good Bye Seattle

We are all packed and saying Good Bye! It has been a long trip, but fun. Tomorrow to Hawaii and visit one last set of cousins for the night then on to Majuro the next day.

I'll sure be glad to get back to my own bed and gently rocked to sleep by the waves.

Eldon has to move the server again, so www.tcls.com doesn't have a home for a while. I'm not sure what we'll do. But we plan to keep it alive someway.

Seattle Again

After a long but uneventful flight we are back to Seattle. Only a week more to the boat. Got to get ready to take Izzy to school.

Leaving the Ranch Arrive Chicago

We spent wonderful 5 days on the ranch with Uncle Jim, Aunt Nancy, Betty, Milz and Katie.

Then a Day with Trinda's brother Niles, then on to Chicago and my sister Sherry. Maybe more pictures soon.

Leaving San Antonio

Winnette and Trinda

I went with Trinda's brother John to deliver a load of sand. His truck is different than I had seen before.

Trinda's Reunion

We went to Trinda's family reunion in San Antonio Saturday. There were a lot more relatives than I expected to find. All the brothers and sisters were able to come and a large percentage of the nieces and nephews.

First the brothers and sisters: In front, Winnette, Binda, Trinda and Darlene. In back are Billy, John and Niles.

Then them and their cousins.

Then some of the nieces and nephews.

There was lots of food of course. We took our usual of chocolate cake and peach cobbler. There were beans, bar-b-que chicken and sausage, potato salad and all the normal Texas food.

As usual, I failed to get all the pictures I should have taken. There are a lot of spouses and family shots I missed. All of the photos I did get will be on the cruising album shortly.

We spent Thursday and Friday nights with Darlene and Robert and the day today with Winnette. I failed to get the camera out there too.

San Antonio, Texas

A long way from the sea, but we made it OK. Trinda's brother John picked us up right on time even though the plane was 15 minutes early.

It looks to be a big event family reunion, almost 50 people so far! I didn't realize she had that many relatives!

Yesterday, I found the new owners of the company who made our dinghy. They are going to replace it again! And pay shipping to the Marshals!!! Ya hooo! He said that there was a known problem with the glue in the 2006 models and couldn't believe the previous company owner replaced my bad 2006 with another 2006 with the same bad glue problem. He was extremely nice and helpful! Way to go AMI (Advanced Marine Inflatables)
