Hi, everyone,
Just wanted to let everyone know that our Castaway Club cards arrived today. Those of you that were wondering about the cards will probably be receiving them shortly, also.
I wish we were cruising again, but will have to wait for another year or two. Our next big vacation is another trip to Ireland, hopefully next year. We haven't decided yet when we are going, as we are still trying to find out exactly where Pat's great grandfather was born.
Sally, I was very sorry to hear about your pictures. In 1999, Walmart (in Raleigh, NC) ruined one of the rolls of film I had taken as we sailed around the British Virgini Islands. I was very upset at the time, as they tried to blame me and said that I gave them a roll of film that was either damaged, or unexposed. They did refund me the cost of the roll of film, but that didn't make up for the pictures that were not replaceable. I had pictures of sea turtles that swam up to the sailboat, among others. However, I was able to get pictures from some of the other people that were on our boat (total of 10). That was a great trip, and our first "cruise" experience.
We sailed on a fifty foot boat with a total of 10 people. I would love to do it again, sometime.
I hope everyone is doing well these days.
Leta
