I hope everyone had a merry Christmas! AND a wonderful start to the new year. We spent New years day with our friends Rod and Christina aboard their boat ,Dream Catcher, learning how to be "Air Heads".(term of endearment).. I mean "sailors". The gulf was perfect for beginers with 5 to 8 mph winds. They are wonderful, calm and patient teachers. (shown at helm below)
Thanks guys!
This is proof that they did let me sail. If sailing is turning that big wheel thingy back and forth. Well I did pull on a sheet or two and come about (that's sailor talk) . Notice the huge seas in the background?...Lucky "I" was very good so we made it back safely.

We have been fishing (not seriously) quite a bit. Only skunked once! We usually catch something. Dorene can't stop. This is her catching catfish at night off our dock. I'm NOT appreciating that because I clean em.
Someone else thinks fishing off our dock is pretty good....
This dolphin spent about a half hour just off our dock throwing this fish into the air. At first we thought she was just playing with her food (bad manners) but, we actually think she was teaching her baby to catch fish. Kind of like a game of fetch.
Other activities at the dock include daily conferences at the "liars table" I don't know why they call it that. All of the stories told there are definitely true.
And of course nothing at the beach across the street has changed this year....
Happy New Year!
Wow! We went with friends last year on their sailboat, never pulled out the sheets! Cool for you!
