Up,Up, and Away!

The boat that is. We had the boat hoisted this morning from Rio Dulce. Ram Marina offerred to pull Nancy's boat from the water and store it in the boat yard, gratis! We graciously accepted their offer and had the boat yanked from the River's grasp. She is pretty much "put up" and ready for a short hiatus out of the water. We are all trying to figure out how we are going to keep Dan and Nancy's dream alive and sail her out of here! It is hard without a "captain" to find out what direction we are going in. We all have some deep contemplation to do about our lives and where we need/want to go. One thing is for sure, we are not going to let fear stop us from doing anything.

A fuel dock blew up down here today. Lots of sirens and black clouds. We didn't know about it until it was well over due to our heads being buried in the boat. There is always something going on down here. You don't need a T.V. here.

We are wrapping things up and preparing for our return to AK. It is definitly hard for Nancy to leave this place, this dream. I can understand. It is way more fun sailing then dealing with all of the hastles of putting a boat away and dealing with the gov't . We have often thought of just sailing down the river, right on out of here. That would be a way of keeping the dream alive. But the dream is still alive. It is stronger in us than it ever has been. Regresamos.

Love Us.
