The
Senior Citizens do the Florida thing...
Click the
photo of Dad
to see the Senior Citizens sailing
on ESMERALDE...
I know
they are my parents, my own
flesh & blood, but sometimes
you just
have to wonder. I preface this by saying
that they have spent the better part of six
months away from
home (far away from
our watchful eyes) this year, adventuring
off on
their new boat. I think
perhaps
they dabbled in colorful substances, or
maybe
just spent too much time with independent-minded
friends,
new and old. In any case, photos have
begun
to roll in, and we want to share them.
Should
we be worried? Perhaps, but at least they seem to
be having fun,
and appear to be in excellent health.
The Potato Launcher
Yes,
that would be Gammo working the launcher, but in true
Florida style, it's a lime, not a potato. On the
right, Gammo shows off the result. Carol, in the
center, is a delightful host of all this juvenile
behavior.
At left, Gammo gets
proffessional instruction in the proper operation of the
launcher. Below, the gathered crowd marvels at the
power of her technique.
Transportation & Supplies
 And
here on the left we have another host, Bob.
Introducing the Senior Citizens to the preferred method
of transportation (where have they been all their
lives??).
 And
this would be...? Shopping for dinner, naturally.
Wouldn't want to become dehydrated, would we?
Party Animals
 OK,
so it's not your average New England Thanksgiving.
Who says you can't lighten things up a little as you go
gray?
 Yes,
the guests are a little unusual, too. But there's
nothing like a little fine wine to clear up the
confusion, and we know they have plenty of that.
Circumnavigating Friends
This is about sailing,
after all. Can you spot three of the (at least)
four circumnavigators who were at this party?
And here we have two key
members of one of the circumnavigation teams, as well as
great hostesses!
Fine Yachts
  There's
at least one circumnavigating vessel, there in the
center. Here's to our good friends, who most often
(but not always, to be quite fair) are voyaging types.
We wish you all fair winds and smooth seas! |
