Hi, Fred & Mary! Congratulations! Because you are blogger I’ve lately been enjoying a lot, I have nominated you for a Liebster Award! It’s sort of a chain-letter award bloggers give to other bloggers they really dig. If you accept, you can find the rules by visiting 2000detours.com and reading my post, “I’ve Been Nominated for a Liebster!” It calls out you and a few other bloggers I love. Keep writing!
We look forward to reading more of your sailing adventures. Strangely enough we are currently in Sicily with the admiral of the Texan navy. One day they may even gets some boats! (true)
Really nice to ‘meet’ you guys! I’m always happy to make furiends with other furry sailors even if they woof! Looking forward to following your adventures. =^.^=
We just found your blog. Greetings from Cream Puff . We purchased our first cruising boat Water-Melon in Kemah, TX. We are about to embark on full time cruising. We are currently in St Petersburg FL for a couple more days.

Hi! I know this is totally random and probably a little weird but I read your story on scary mommy and it struck a chord – probably because I only recently started taking care of my skin/being crazy about sunscreen/wearing hats! I wanted to ask you a question but not on a public comment board – any way to private message you or send an email?! Let me know!
