Before we get into our blog for the travel from Punta Gorda to Catawba Island, that we have just started today. We thought we should bring you up to date since our last blog that ended after our trip to Punta Gorda in October. This will be done by date. 

We decided not include all the sailboat racing and the hundreds of other activities that we did with our neighbors at Windmill Village because it would take a book. To say the least we have not been bored.

November 9th.
Even though we had just been in our home in Florida for a couple of weeks the kids wanted to have an early Thanksgiving at Becky's parents and Chrismas at Jodi an Tyler's house in Ohio. So we flew home for a quick trip north.

   November 23 we took a cruise out of Ft. Lauderdale to the eastern caribbean. Our friends Chis and Jennie were with us and we had a great time. Chris did monkey around a lot.

Feburary 20th we went North to Findlay Ohio for Zachary's 4th Birthday.

February 28th we chartered a Sailboat in the British Vigin Islands with two other couples, Sandy and Alan Reichert, Brenda and Ed Geckler. We had a 38 foot catamaran and the weather was perfect. After 7 days on the boat we stayed 3 days in St. John's island in a tent community.The pictures say it all. You would not believe the beauty here unless you go.
